Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Update Aug. 2023. Currently in the Tuamotus. Looking for Crew around September 11 to join me and cruise here for a few more weeks and then sail up to Hawaii in October. I plan on being in Hawaii for a month or two and then heading down to the beautiful Line islands for the winter. I need a five week commitment, then possibly more. These are some of the most beautiful islands in the world. Warm, crystal clear blue water, white sandy beaches, and amazing coral reefs. Diving, snorkeling, surfing, paddleboarding.
Update 2023. After cruising French, Polynesia and Hawaii in 2020/2021, decided to come back to Mexico to start over due to Covid. I’m going to be cruising the coast here in Mexico until March and then would like to have a partner set out for French Polynesia again. Plan is to do remote, islands , staying in the winters, and seeing as remote should be remote specific as possible, My names Greg, 63yrs young and a 100 ton USCG Captain. I am currently in Mexico looking for a crew to go back out in the Pacific after a nine year circumnavigation. I have over 120,000 miles of ocean that I’ve crossed and just looking to have fun out in the Pacific again. I’m looking for a partner that would like to go out and possibly do maybe one or two deliveries a year in between cruising the Pacific .

After circumnavigating on a 75 foot schooner for nine years, my current boat is a Norseman 447, 45 foot cutter that I have done extensive renovations with all the safety gear and is ready to go out in the Pacific again.

I am currently back in French Polynesia and I’m heading to Hawaii in October. Did 6-1/2 years in the Pacific and only saw one quarter of it. This is my fourth time going across the Pacific. Would love to spend another six years out here. Lots to see. Surfing, diving, snorkeling, and whatever else is out there
