Dear Shipmates
Introduction
I am looking for a somewhat experienced sailor to make the passage to USVI From Maine in Oct / Nov 2024. Also looking for company for a week or two to cruise in the Caribbean between January and May 2025 The boat is very comfortable, clean, and well maintained. Crew is expected to stand watches and life on board we try to keep very casual and low key. Provisions are provided on board and most dinners are prepared by the capt. Help in the galley is welcomed but not required. Travel expenses to and from the boat are covered for the delivery trip to the USVI in 2024.
