Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I've been a sailor almost all my life. I've sailed on many other boats as well as the 3 boats I have personally owned and captained. My current boat is a wonderful sailing catamaran suited for travel, exploration, and adventure. Some of my watersports are Windsurfing and Kitesurfing, Wingfoiling, snorkeling and SCUBA(PADI certified). On land I like to play competitive Pickleball, mtn bike, hike, and travel. I also enjoy inciteful discussions, board games as well as many other interests. I also love teaching, deconstructing and building things. I endevour to be a kind person and strive to leave the world a better place.

I have a engineering and technology background and can build/fix almost anything. I presently live in The Columbia River Gorge(Oregon). I have travelled to Baja the past 4 winters in my RV. I have sailed inland waterways as well as the east and west coasts of the US including the Bahamas and Mexico. I'm looking to extend my crusiing territory!
In addition to crew positions, I am seeking a partner to explore the world and enjoy an active, challenging lifestyle.

The yacht is ready for the 2023–2024 season!

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleancomfortablevery safevessel is survey certifiedvery spaciousshare experienceshare charter costsvisit remote placesseek adventureface challengesfind a soulmate/partner

The boat is peacefully at rest near Annapolis, MD waiting for an opportunity to travel to the Bahamas again for the winter. I'm looking for one or two crew to help me enjoy her the winter of 2023–2024 in the Bahamas. After the Bahamas, I'm interested in Central America and beyond.

On board we have 2 SUPs, 6 SCUBA tanks, Kiteboards and kites, Wingfoil board and Wings, snorkel gear and much more. The boat is outfitted for extended cruising and exploration. The galley is fully provisioned, we have a large refer, freezer and portable freezer/refer. Watermaker, A/C, solar panels for off grid power. She has a new quiver of Quantum sails! She is in tip top shape as well... or at least as good as any boat can be :)

What is expected of the crew

Crew will participate in all aspects of cruising including watches, sailing the boat, cooking, cleaning, and of course having a fun time! Captain is prepared to train and educate willing crew. Crew is expected to share in all expenses while onboard.
