Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I'm looking for a fellow adventurer to do a major expedition from Darwin to Broome in my open long-boat. This trip will take in a large chunk of the Kimberley coast and possibly a visit to remote Seringapatam and Scott Reefs. The main objective of the expedition is to film a wreck I discovered a few years back as well (time permitting) searching for 2 other wrecks.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

Still unsure of the route, but definitely will be via the Carribean.
