Hello: I am David, Captain of our vessel, Beluga. My wife, Marla is pictured with me and co-owner of Beluga. Beluga is a 2019 Nautitech Open 40 Catamaran and scheduled to join the ARC Europe Rally, leaving the US Chesapeake in early May (2024) arriving in Lagos, Portugal by mid June (2024). We will have with us another couple, Ed and Jeannie that have many years of sailing experience and have been on Beluga with us several times. For this Atlantic crossing we would like one more experienced person to share the responsibilities with all of us. Our ages are all sixty-something but we do not care if the fifth person is a match to that or not. All provisions are included, ARC fees included but transportation to the Chesapeake and home from Lagos is on you.
Smoking: non-smoker
Relationship status: married
Dietary requirements: We are happy to provision for any dietary restrictions. One of us is vegetarian but the other three are not so joint meals will generally include both options.
