John Williams wants 3 crew for FARAWAY2, 48 ft steel schooner, 15m.

From LIVERPOOL, United Kingdom to Sitka, ALASKA, United States.

July 2018 to October 2018.

EXPERIENCE HIGH LATITUDE AND ARCTI SAILING. ENJOYH THE U9NIQUE CJLTURE OF THE INUIT AND THE NOT SO NICE ENCOUJNTERS WITH POLAR BEARS---SO MJUCH MORE SEVERE THAN THE ALASKAN BROWN BEARS HOU'LL SEE DJRING THE GJLF OF ALASKA AND ALASKAN PENINSULA SEGMENTS. SCENERY IS WORLD FAMOUS WITH GREENLANDS GLACIERS AND MASSIVE ICEBERGS, MARINE LIFE TOO. ALASKA WITH NUMEROUJS VALLEY GLACIERS AND SMOKING VOLCANOES ALONG THE ALASKAN PENINSLA. YES, A VOHYAGE OF MAY STOP AND DURING FALL SOOME WAITING FOR WEATHER WINDOWS TO PROCEED. THE SCHOONER HERE IS A NEW BOAT FOR ME TOO BUT WE'LL HAVE AMPLE TIME TO TEST HER OJT BEFORE ANY OCEAN PASSAGE. ALL THOSE ARE QUITE SHORT ON THIS WAHY ACROSS THE ATLANTIC SO HOU'LL HAVE TIME TO REFLECT ON THE PAST CROSSING(S) ANTARCTIC CRUISING IS DIFFERENT AS WEATHER THERE IS THE DOMINANT FEATURE WHILE HERE IT WILL BE THE DRIFT ICE. I'VE SAILED SOME IN THE ARCTIC AND MORE IN THE SOTHERN OCEAN AND ANTARCTIC SO HOU'LL BECOME AN EXPERT AND WEATHER AND SCHOONER BEHAVIOUR IN BOTH LIGHT AND STRONGER WINDS. bUT IT IS NOT ALL ROSES AS BELOW I MENTION THE NEED FOR SOME HLP TO PREPARE AND PROVISION THE VESSEL FOR HER VOHYAGE. OTHER VOHYAGES ADV. HERE I'VE BEEN IN EXTREME SOUTHERN CHILE OR HARD TO REACH OTHER PLACES. HERE IN LIVERPOOL YOU CAN PERHAPS COME BY SEE THE BOAT AND DISCUSS THE TRIP OVER A CJP OF COFFEE. NOT JUST A MANCHO TRIP IT IS A CRUJISE AND THAT REQUIRES PATIENCE. SO IF THE CONDITIONS AND SAY THE ICE SITUATION IS NOT FAVORABLE THEN WE WAIT. PATIENCE IS THE KIEY TO LONG DISTANCE CRUJISING AND AFTER 200,000 MILES I HAVE BEEN SENT BACK NUMMEROUS TIME TO TRY AGAIN LATER. YES BEST RATHER THAN RETURN. WE DO NOT LOOK FOR BAD WEATHER BUT WITH SORT PASSAGES AND A BOAT CAPABLE OF MAKIONG EXCELLENT TIME UNDER SAIL AND MOTOR I'D EXPECT TO AVOITD MOST OF THE WEATHER TROUJBLES OTHEERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED. ROUTE IS FAROES ICELAND THE SOUTH AROUND GREENLANDS S NO REASOON TO GET CAUGHT IN SOMETHING NASTY THIS TIME OF YEAR (JULY) NOW BELOW YOU'LL SEE IT IS NOT ALL SAILING EITHER! JOHN
