I am presently in the Galapagos Islands expecting to arrive in the Marquesas in early April. After the Marquesas, I'm planning on some lazy sails around the South Pacific, and perhaps as far as New Zealand. If anyone can join me, either in the Marquesas or Tahiti for South Pacific cruising it would be great.
The boat is an Excess 11 which is ideal for a crew of four so couples are welcome.
As regards expenses, I will pay for all boat related bills but I think it's fair that you contribute proportionately to food etc., and your own visas if required. I presently have one very capable male crew member so a couple or single person would be ideal.
I look forward to hearing from you.
