Dear Shipmates
Introduction
I have a Pearson 424, thats has a new diesel engine.
my plan is to sail south around jan10 preferably to the bahamas have no plans because of covide not sure where to go maybe up the east coast, maybe Mexico. just looking for a sailing companion, I am very laid back. drink and occasionally smoke helps me sleep. I am 66. crew will have the vbirth. your own sink and I use a compost toilet, no black tank. I do have a Australian Shepard, very polite and easy to like. Just got back from spending three months in the mountains camping out in a truck camper, did New Mexico, Colorado Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington Utah, Arizona went to Canada by mistake, not to mention Texas Oklahoma Louisiana Alabama and of course Florida.
the boat has been completely refurbished, new engine(beta) <20 hours, NM2000 depth- wind-compass-autopilot with wind-radio-gps, new refer,new dingy and motor and much more. Have a blog that has all the upgrades

Sailed to Mexico from pensacola 4 times as crew. Deck hand on a 110 ft schooner sailed out of St.Thomas for a little over a year. Sailed from Panama to the Galapagos.
