Caribbean Island plus Atlantic Crossing to Azores

Hi All,
The sailing opportunity I am offering spans over two separate periods.
The first is from 23rd Feb to the 18th of March. (Caribbean sailing - Crew familiarisation opportunity)
The second from 9th May to the 12th June. (Atlantic Crossing)
Total number of places is 5/6 incl. me
First few days will be preparation work and interested people are encouraged to join me in doing that. If you can't manage the whole first period thats ok. The intention is to form a great crew before the Atlantic voyage. We will sail around the Caribbean islands testing the boat, stopping often to swim, snorkel and generally having a great time.
The crossing will be from Martinique to the Azores islands, finishing in Ponta Delgada.
A couple maybe considered as part of the whole crew

I would prefer people with experience and qualifications however this is not a deal breaker. Experience is the key factor. We will all share in the daily duties, including cooking, cleaning, day and night watches on a rotational basis. Non smokers and no special diet requirements , Prefer a mix of male and females with a sensible and safety orientated attitude but who are also fun and have an adventurous spirit.

Crew to organise their own travel/visa arrangements and contribute to daily expenses for food, fuel and any stop overs we choose to make in marinas. This contribution to be made in advance which will become an informal deposit for your place to also ensure you do change your mind at the last minute. Approximate cost of $20 US dollars per day.
