My name is Robert. I have recently purchased my Alden 50' and currently have her staged in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. I am back in New England for a month and am looking to return to the boat at the end of January for a two month cruise of the Bahamas. I will sail back to New Haven, CT, her home port, in April. Looking for experienced individuals to cruise the Bahamas. I have 25,000 nm of offshore experience and getting back into the cruising mode after being away from the scene for many years. Prefer more of the off-grid cruising mode out island to the busy destination anchorages.
