I think you're convincing us to go with professional crew. With a lifetime on the water both recreational and professional it's hard for me to think about hiring a captain. But i think you're right.
Yeah, me too, but it was wonderful to let the others do the work while I savored the experience. For me, the joy of seafaring, and aviating lies not in the handling of the controls, but in the navigating. Not much challenge on a body of water about 30 meters across. There should be many opportunities for line-handling, lock-tending etc.
I've made the passage to Alaska three times, including crossing the Gulf twice; this is almost certainly the best week afloat I'll ever have.
Your charter may not have a ship's band, like ours, but ...
