Voyage Making - Pacific Seacraft 40 Cutter Pacific Crossing

Sail Plan/Route from Marina Vallarta, Jalisco, MX planning a North Pacific Crossing to Majuro/Marshall Islands/, PNG, then Sorong/Raja Ampat/Indonesia

ROUTE D E P E N D S on crew commitment and fit with Bella Sirena voyage planning. COVID vaccination a travel must due to immigration entry rules I cannot change.

Latest voyage video by First Mate Arturo, his third voyage with me and Bella Sirena ... https://youtu.be/qKh_A-i8GXo

Captain Bryon sails with one or two experienced crew depending on voyage length.

This is keen voyage making - not hitch hiking at sea. Adapt as an hourly behavior, attention to details,
abundances of common sense,O
situational awareness, and
DIY or Ourselves problem-solving skills.

It ain't soup otherwise.

Captain Bryon knows a little about A LOT of thing that make or break voyage making. He makes learning mistakes. Leave ego home if interested in building a voyage that is safe and enjoyable.

When "it" works on SV Bella Sirena, alle smiler. You know what it means to adapt as a norm and you have experienced situational awareness on watch and off watch. Captain assumes most voyage expenses/costs for crew with voyage commitment and a grounded, personal sense of the work, the tasks, opportunity. They are one whole experience.

Pacific Seacraft 40 bluewater Cutter refitted 2018 - 2019 ... in near Bristol condition, solar, water maker, late model integrated B and G nav instruments, Iridium Go/Predict Wind, etc., lying Puerto Vallarta, MX.

You are experienced preferably with offshore nautical miles in the sail resume, with mechanical aptitude skills, cooking and musical talents a plus ... or all the above! Hey ask for what you want in life!

Skilled/hard-working/short of funds?

Work exchange relationship feasible. What's the collective dream and the commitment to experience it?

We interview each other and crew commitment long term a factor. Bella is a safe voyage environment and has been since I bought her May 2014, green-focused maintenance a priority.
