Just realized it has been a very long time since I visited here. We've been busy sailing - from Puget sound to San Francisco, San Francisco to Hawaii, Hawaii to Alaska. Now chilling in Petersburg, AK.
I'll try not to be such a stranger hereon.

When Laura crewed for the delivery of the schooner Spike Africa from San Diego to Kauai, we found out of the crew opening through our yacht club, Nawiliwili YC on Kauai. Laura was interviewed over the phone by the captain and paid her own way to San Diego to join the ship but no money exchanged hands.
It is fairly easy to get a return delivery crew berth on a racing yacht going back to the mainland from Hawaii after the Trans-Pac or Pacific Cup races and sometimes on private cruising yachts if you can document your skills or if you volunteer to do the cooking. You just have to be hanging around the right port with no commitments for a few weeks when the opportunity presents it self.
Another option is to join a large private yacht. Often these boats post notices on bulletin boards in the marina or in the crew list in magazines like Latitude 38 advertising for crew to some port or other. Typically, you will be required to purchase a return airline ticket and sometimes contribute to the grocery bill. Requirements, conditions and shipmates vary widely. Choose carefully or you may find yourself sailing with Captain Bligh or worse (At least Bligh was a good seaman).
Bad weather at sea may be uncomfortable but there is really nothing to be afraid of in a well found boat if you have plenty of sea room. It's when you are close to land that you need to worry.
Before, every ride was a life and death experience. I would come back from rides physically drained. I would tense up on my bike. My hands would cramp up from gripping the handle bars too hard. Bikes don't scare me anymore like it used to when I first started riding. I'm used to it now.
Sailing, on the other hand, is still new to me. I don't even have a boat yet. I've never been more than a few miles out to sea and I've only gone sailing a few times in my life, just along for the ride.
Deep water and big waves scare me. Getting caught out at sea in a bad storm would scare the crap out of me. But, that doesn't mean that I'm not going to get a boat or learn to sail. It's a fear I will have to overcome. Learning to ride a motorcycle was scary at first, but you get over it.
So did you have any scary moments crossing the Pacific? And that was the first time you ever did anything like that, am I right?
