Visiting the world from the sea.

Update: April 18, 2021:

Now planning departure from Baja to California to accommodate logistics of weather, moorage in California and getting the Covid vaccination including follow-up jab. Departure during the next two weeks.

Would pick up last year’s plans to visit southern Chile but it is just too difficult to plan around closed borders and extensive crew travel with restrictions and required isolation.

I travel short-handed, usually one, sometimes two crew for longer passages. Women have proven to be better crew in the past. This is a great opportunity for a wonderful visit to Mexico and Alaska. We can still travel through Canada but can’t stop in populated areas.

I have previous crew references available. I have extensive cruising experience on my previous motor vessel (a smaller version of the new boat) and, prior to that, sailed my own boat from Seattle through the South Pacific to New Zealand and back to Seattle.

All boat-related expenses are covered. Crew is on their own for travel to/from the boat, entertainment, activities and any alcohol. Crew usually participate in local shopping but the boat is well-stocked with staples and food for long-term cruising.

Duties include watches on passage and sharing day-to-day participation aboard. There is almost no stainless to polish, no wood to varnish and little other than normal boat washing, waterline and propellers to clean on the outside.

Everyone cooks, cleans and keeps the inside tidy.

  • Boat descriptionNew, well-equipped, expedition cruising vessel. Splashed 2019. Shake-down cruise from New Zealand, where the boat was built, to Fiji and back that year. Finished commissioning March 2020. Intended to travel across South Pacific to Chile, but Pandemic kept most borders closed. A capable boat gave us options, so we traveled from New Zealand, to Tahiti, to Hawaii and spent three months in Alaska. Boat is built, equipped and outfitted to travel the world. Otherwise we would have had to turn back to New Zealand in March and I’d probably still be there. Boat is equipped with redundant electronics and steering, three freezers, three entirely separate staterooms, very capable dinghy, row boat, two kayaks and dive gear, including compressor. Boat is now in Ventura, California. Crew for Patagonia and Tierra Del Fuego are still keen but it’s all but impossible to plan with border restrictions so I expect to travel to Mexico in January and go back to Alaska this coming summer.
