Three Months Slow Cruising to S. America

Going for the Canal and Caribe ASAP from Northern Baja California. Boat ready and waiting for the right individual(s), one or two, if it feels right. Lots of video conferencing first; then come to San Diego or Tijuana (the closest airports), quite close to where the boat is now in Ensenada. Stops in Turtle Bay, Cabo, La Paz (worth a little longer), Southern Mexico, Central America, Panama (also longer), the magnificent San Blas Islands, Cartagena (extended), and Santa Marta, our destination for now. Seeking well-educated and experienced sailors. Technical/mechanical skills are a plus. I've been preparing my boat, Malolo, a Newport 33, for close to two years, and every system has been revamped. In great shape now. Seeking laid-back fun and adventure: fishing for food and diving, beachcombing and island hopping, with possible short land excursions. Uninterested in partnering with regressive MAGA enthusiasts or uptight sailors who cannot remain relatively calm under pressure. Call me Captain Berkeley, lol. Receive the added benefit of Spanish tutoring from me, a former Latin American Studies scholar. Call if you have serious sailing experience! Leaving asap, now that we're getting past the extended El Niño year hurricane season. Safety first. Anchors away!

There's a bunch more, but that's a lot of it, but also worthy of mention is that the hull is made of early generation fiberglass, when they didn't know how they would hold up, and is extra thick.
