Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Shared aventure seekers wanted and I'm also looking for a full-time paid crew member to take care of the boat. The paid crew member would stay on the boat most of the Year and be able to do all aspects of of Maintenance or coordinate someone to get things done. I've been cruising the Mexican coast with various amazing people and now plan down to the Panama Canal. The trip so far has been filled with fantastic food , thousands of dolphins and birds and whales. I'm seeing how the right people on board is really magical. I have most of the competent group and more importantly get along with everyone on board. I'm looking to create a fun adventure with like-minded people. The most important thing is how you get along with everyone and can you contribute to the adventure. With that said, I do put safety as a very critical element and make sure that everybody understands the safety requirements and how we deal with any emergencies or issues. But after the safety concerns I'm really looking for people that want to swim, paddle board, snorkel or scuba, create great memories, help clean and manage the boat, explore and adventure and share in the expenses. I am plan on going fairly slow at about 7 knots for most of the journey. The boat will be staying in Marinas and anchoring in the coolest Bays that we can find. I enjoy fishing on the boat and cook our own fish on the grill. They'll be a total of 3-5 people on the way to the Caribbean. Important info. You would be coming as a guest of mine and not paid and we all share in food expenses and maintaining the boat as well as the community. You will be required to pay for your own expenses as well as transportation to and from the boat. It's important to remember that this is a group of adventurous, friendly, kind, helpful community-oriented people. If you do not fit the culture or are not willing to help out then you will not be a good fit for the trip and will need to depart at your own expense.

The boat is an excellent condition and seaworthy. The preventative maintenance has been completed it and it has all the bells and whistles. The boat comes equipped with twin engines, generator, water maker, seakeeper, entertainment systems, multiple refrigerators, freezers and ice makers Etc. The boat also have a small dinghy in the garage and a few paddle boards. We keep the boat in great shape and are looking for crew to help us take care of the boat and create an amazing adventure.
My hope this allows us all to share and connect. With the said, the most important thing is just find people to enjoy this little slice of life and if there is a spark then that is just a great bonus. I look forward to chatting with you about the possibility of joining us on a great journey.
