Dear Shipmates
Introduction
It’s Jacob here! I’m enjoying this life of traveling on water. Looking for some help with different boat responsibilities, duties. I’ve had my boat for four years and sailed it over 12k nm, sailed from California, Baja Mx, Puerto Vallarta, Marquesas, islands, and to Australia. Hi, looking forward to meeting new crew members!
About the boat, the plans, and current crew
usually cleancomfortablevery safeusually single handedvisit remote placeslive off the grid
The boat is a 2005 Benneteau 423 in good condition. It was hauled-out 1yr ago. The boat yard and myself replaced through-hulls, bottom paint, cutlass bearing, shaft seal, and a new lower rudder bearing, I also had standing rigging replaced pin to pin September 2023. It holds 150 gallons of freshwater, and 55 gallons diesel. The plan is to cross the Pacific Ocean check out Marquesas, and other neighboring islands and head towards Fiji, maybe down to New Zealand, then onto Australia!! Now that’s complete planning to sail along east coast of Australia heading north towards the Torres Straight, to Darwin, on to Indonesia!!
