[ Cancelled ] East coast USA to remote South Pacific United States to French Polynesia ref 5551

Jonas Collins wants 1 crew for Pilgrim, Morgan 382, 12m.

From East Coast, United States to , French Polynesia.

November 2015 to September 2017.

The boat is a 38ft monohull that is being prepared to transit the Panama canal and do a voyage in the South Pacific visiting the more remote spots outside of the standard “milk run” route. The Marquesas are beautiful but with several hundred boats crowding the anchorages in March-May, I prefer doing the southern route initially. Desired destinations include the Australs, back up towards Tokelau and a few Polynesian islands that are politically part of the Solomons. I tend to enjoy cruising destinations where there is no airport, has infrequent supply ship visits and has less than five visiting yachts per season. Must stop in Fiji to re provision and surf Cloud break! Eventually loop back to Hawaii or continue towards Micronesia. Currently, the boat is on the east coast (contact me for current location). The Caribbean will be explored on the way down but I prefer to spend a bit of time in Cartagena and in the San Blas. Unpaid, share expenses, alcohol free environment, minimalist approach (little engine use, anchor out whenever possible, live at local standard of living) Skipper has over 70,000 miles experience which includes a single handed circumnavigation (below Africa, Panama Canal) Boat specs, my sailing resume and past voyages can all be seen at sailingonpilgrim.wordpress.com
