I found some sites years ago Sailboats around the world Looking for help and company on there boats ! very cheap way to get around and explore many places. Most pay all expenses, some want food contributions etc...

That is great idea. Are these the big old wooden boats like for 50-80 people? Or did you see some smaller boats as well? That is really good idea.

Mostly small person boats, My first trip was from Florida, a older man had bought it for a good deal, but never sailed. I spent a month getting it ready, Invited a Dutch lady friend, Plus a older Scottish woman answered the ad and came too. Only 30', so we got to know each other quick :-)
I became Captain, and off we went. ( that's a several large blogs ) maybe later :-) Just search the net for ( crew wanted )
