Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Last call!- Hi our one crew member just dropped out. One Swiss woman and myself. We leave May 25 from Niue to Tonga and ending in Fiji latest mid June. WhatsApp if interested. Thanks Andrew
In 2022, Myself and two crew for 3 months crossed from San Carlos Mexico to Marquesas then Tahiti where boat is stored. My wife and one crew joined for a two month Pacific Island cruise in May 2023. Now Planning on a crew of three (my wife does not want to do the long crossings) to leave French Poly and sail to Cook Islands and Tonga ending in Fiji. Looking for fun loving, sea loving crew that enjoy adventure. Ideally looking for individuals that have coastal blue water experience and who can share tasks, night watches and enjoy learning.
I am a 56 year old adventurer, spent my life traveling the world and six years ago bought the boat to prepare for the next great adventure. I am married and have two adult children. They all join me on the boat every now and then.

The vessel is a 39 ft quality USA built freedom express cat ketch with two free standing masts. She is loaded with water maker, generator, all navigational equipment, SSB and VHF radios, AIS transponder, Iridium Go weather and email/text/phone, safety equipment and maintained by her captain regularly. Safety is the priority. She comfortably sleeps two in pilot berths, possibly two in quarter berth and one captains v-berth. Spacious head and changing area (shower not connected). Fully equipped galley with freezer, refrigeration, stove, oven etc.
To give you an idea of what we do. In 2020–21 with different crews we crossed the sea of Cortez 10 times and have done around 7000 miles of really enjoyable sailing. Isolated islands, beaches, hiking, snorkeling and diving all year round!
