Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Classic wooden schooner presently looking for crew in north Florida. My destination is presently sailing north over the next month or so, as it warms up, to the Outer Banks of North Carolina or south to either the Bahamas or further to Culebra, Puerto Rico. Either way it's a good opportunity to acquire some sailing experience on a sound, classic vessel with a licensed master and years of experience on both commercial and recreational vessels, sail and power.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

Looking for a crew who would like to learn a more traditional type of sailing, more soulful really without endless electronic gadgetry and all the rest. This time of year north or south are a possibility, though I'm not really fond of cold weather! So I'm open to suggestions if preferences are realistic. Currently the crew on board is a small, young rescue dog that has lived aboard all her life. So you must be good with that. The boat is very well constructed out of tropical hardwood, sound and seaworthy. There's a few chinks in her cosmetics( it's a lot of wood) an inconvenient drip or two from her teak decks and always a project to do. I was in the Carribean for 10 years doing daysail charters and made bi yearly voyages from Puerto Rico to Grenada for yard times as well as several round-trip voyages back to the states. Last summer saw her cruising the coast of Maine. So if you enjoy listening or playing music, philosophical conversations, dogs, and seldom going to marinas, let me know.

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” — "Innocents Abroad," 1869
