north pacific crossing. BC, Canada to Hawaii island

I'm looking for semi experienced to well experienced sailors who are looking to build miles and gain experience on a transpacific crossing from Vancouver island, BC, to Hawaii, via a stop in Westport, Washington for upgrades and maintenance.

There are two boats.
One 50' William garden cutter/ketch and one Horizon 36' ketch.

Leaving BC on August 3 and headed to Westport, Washington. Will be staying there for about a month to do maintenance and upgrades on both boats.

You can just do the Vancouver island to Westport leg(departs August 3), the Westport to hawaii leg(departs September 3-5), or you could do both.

Looking for people of all skill levels and sets.
Need 8 people all together and have 4 so far committed.

Must be open minded and fun to be around.
Musical talents are a big plus, as are life experiences and storytelling abilities.

I will cover your basic food needs but, bring your own extras and snacks and whatever you need for a long trip.
Musical instruments are a plus!

Also, I believe in God cause his works make him quite obvious. I have been blessed beyond measure in life and I can only thank the most high for this.
I love all people and want to share my blessings and help as many people as I can as a life work.
That being said, I am not pushy about this and my personal beliefs will not get in the way of any potential crew on any of my upcoming expeditions in the pacific and beyond.

Nathan Sunshine, a user here, has given me a bad review cause I told him these things and I think this is very unfair of him. He doesn't know me and has never met me.
I told him I believed in God but that my beliefs would not conflict with anyone else's. That is it.

Thanks for reading!

This voyage is guided by divine inspiration and focused on spiritual outreach. If you're not aligned with that mission, it’s probably not the right boat for you.
