Take August to enjoy the summer. Boats won't really start to arrive back in Lauderdale until about a month before the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show (October) because of the threat of hurricanes. Also save some money to support yourself while you're looking for daywork. It may be slow to come until you've had a chance to prove yourself, so you might want to have enough savings to live for a month or two.
You will want to stay in a crew house so you can network with people in your same situation. Those can be found on the internet or in one of the two industry publications (PM sent).
Again- good luck.
