Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Let's test the waters.
ATLANTIC PASSAGE in Fall 2025
But first, let us test seamanship, compatibility and seaworthiness by a passage from Valleyfield Quebec to Atlantic Canada (Newfoundland) with some sightseeing along the way.
About the boat, the plans, and current crew
very safelive on little money
I wouldn't say the boat is unsinkable (remember the Titanic) but it is tougher than the skipper or any crew who sails on her. On the other hand, it has few luxuries -- a two burner Force 10 stove, manual head, 20 gal. fresh water storage, and requisite nautical equipment.
What is expected of the crew
