Dear Shipmates
Introduction
I am semi retired, in good health, and spending as much time as possible sailing. My wife doesn't enjoy offshore sailing, and is not part of these voyages. I am easy going, not critical of people, and generally fun to be around. The next voyage will leave Shelter Bay approx May 10th. It will be to the San Blas Islands and then return to Shelter Bay Marina. Total time away approximately 2 weeks.
TEAM PLAYERS ONLY. ME FIRST ATTITUDES NEED NOT APPLY.
Anyone with competent or fluent Spanish speaking ability is a big asset.

Boat is only a few years old and all systems are in good conditions. I sometimes sail single handed, but prefer to sail with one or two additional crew.
