| Lifelong sailor/boater. Wish to find intelligent crew with the desire to sail the world. I own a mint condition Sparkman & Stephens sloop. I acn't sail the vessel alone, I am on a fixed income and I am looking for people that can afford to share the cost of bluewater cruising and can sail for at least 6 months (which goes fast) This is not a charter. I would like to cruise South from San Francisco or Southern California, through Central America ports of call to Panama, transit the canal and head for the Med/South of France via Caribbean islands, Canaries, Portugal, Spain, etc. Or ? This is; Not the LOVE BOAT. Not the PARTY BOAT. Intelligent, secure adults only need reply. A passion for whales is helpful as I do whale research and shooting a movie about whales and man killing them for hundreds of years. (I can use help with that too) There's a lot to all of this and I will add more in a bit. Feel free to contact me. | |
