Crew Wanted - Australia to Caribbean via South Africa

[Gallivanters]

Hello All,

I'm sailing from Australia to the Caribbean by way of South Africa and am collecting names of people who would like to join me.

I'm a licensed captain (USA & Australia) working on my second circumnavigation. Boat is a Hylas 49 with 3 cabins.

I cannot pay but will cover all boat related expenses - food, fuel, clearances, bribes, etc.

Looking for easy-going individuals (male or female) to join for all or part and help with watch keeping, cooking of simple meals & easy conversation. No experience necessary. I'll teach you everything I know about sailing & navigation.

Must be financially secure, fit and willing to learn.

Stops will include Bali, Chagos, Mauritius, Durban, Capetown, St Helena and perhaps more... to Trinidad.

I'm prepared & capable to do this alone but prefer to have three people aboard for safety and company.

Departing Brisbane early August, Bali early October and Capetown in late January after a break for the holidays. Should arrive Trinidad in March.

Please send a personal message to express intrest and I'll reply with more details. Thanks. Whimps need not apply.

To Life!

Kirk

Hello,Kirk,

I am sure you must have tons of things to teach me! I am now in Auckland, new zealand learning sailing and seamanship. always available.

I have more than 100 times harbour sailing experiences. Since I have always been preparing for a blue water cruising, I learned a lot related subjects, especially Navigation, Colregs, rope work, first aid,sea survival, radio,etc.

And also, I adjusted my favorite chinese cooking style for cruising use, yes, I love cooking and share with others.

I would like to hear from you. parachuteman@gmail.com

cheers.
