Aloha. My name is Tom and I come with a 12 pound terrier mix named Meka. Due to COVID restrictions and world tensions I cancelled my round the world flight plans and sold the airplane, and bought a 42 foot catamaran. I need help. I cannot or should not do this alone. Meka is very smart but I need someone to help me learn how to sail a 42 ft cat. Also need someone to live aboard when I travel to San Diego to care for my older brother..

The boat is a 42ft Lagoon TPI. She went through an extensive refit over the past year. All new electronics, navigation, auto pilot, water maker, solar, lithium batteries ...

Update 11/8/2024: Back on the boat after a couple months in San Diego. In wet storage in Richmond Hill (Savannah) until at least Dec 8th. Then who knows. Allot has to do with finding crew.

Update 8/13/24: Currently in the Ft. Mcallister Marina in Richmond Hill Ga. doing engine maintenance.

Update: We are currently in Bimini heading to West Palm then up the coast to NC. Crew is expected to help me learn how to sail her. I have 46 years experience on the ocean but never as captain of a 42 ft cat. We can learn together if needed. I expect crew to know how to use hand and power tools, basic sailing terms and skills and navigation. I expect my crew to get dirty, sweaty, tired, hungry, excited, and fulfilled. I expect my crew to create, edit, and publish refit video documentation and publish on social media. I expect my crew to understand when I get frustrated and want to give up on my dreams and aspirations of living my best life and finding someone to share it with and don't let me give up.
