Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Greetings, 2016 Jeanneau 44DS, Currently sailing around the Galapagos Islands and planning our departure to the Marquesas and then French Polynesia after March 2025 for an eventual circumnavigation. I'm usually single-handed but picking up crew along the way, and may have an open spot or two for the long ocean passage to the Marquesas in March and beyond after that. . . It's a lot more interesting and fun with others on board.
Bonne Vie

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

I have more than 35,000nm and 40 years of open ocean sailing experience, starting with my first transpac in 1980, and including numerous west coast USA deliveries and passages, and 6 years commuter cruising the Sea of Cortez. Two years ago I sailed south from Seattle after retiring from a 25 year career in the marina development business. With a crew of four we left San Francisco and sailed to Mexico, and then spent 5 months in the Sea of Cortez. Since then I have been sailing south again. Sometimes with a crew of 3-4, and about 30% of the time single-handed. After 4 months in Costa Rica, we checked into Panama and spent two months cruising the various islands and ports there, and then on to the Galapagos Islands in February where we are cruising now and waiting for a weather window to the Marquesas and Tahiti in March 2025.
