Setting sail to the south on a valiant 40 that I have been bring up to date with electronics, cosmetics and safety. This journey is about enjoying the passages at a comfortable pace, safely and not rushed to just get there. I have no real set agenda except to arrive alive.. I would like to take the first leg down to the sea of Cortez and explore that area until that interested is accomplished and then from there continue south along the coast of Mexico and to the canal.. From there I will see if its the Caribbean, Brazil or who knows.. Just looking for a fellow journey enthusiast who knows how to sail and enjoy the moment at hand and not needing to be anywhere else...
I have had sailing experience off and on since a kid. As a young adult I sail with my father and learned that if I had been the captain I wouldnt have to be the one cutting lobster pots from the prop or other such tasks..(lol).. In the early 2000 I did a series of ASA classes including coastal cruising.. I have a few night sails under my belt and just basic knowledge of seamanship..my mechanical skills are probably above average being a tradesman all my life and enjoy fixing and dinking around with stuff..
I will be continuing working on this vessel and sailing much more this summer as I prepare to depart..
