Greetings wonderful people! Welcome to the old Tub, help yourself to a tinnie and have a sit down. We aim for safety first, competence second, and fun third. Covid was challenging but I got 80% of a refit done by myself. Now it's time to shakedown the long Baja lee shore to the Sea of Cortez. Diving? Yes. Fishing? Yes please. Fixing something? Oh, probably.
Passage making is being planned, expect updates.

Skipper is from the UK and fiercely inclusive. All are encouraged/welcome, and US partisanship has no place aboard. Sailing is easily taught, but being valued Crew is something you must choose to do. Galley/Stew/morale is a serious position. Big personalities make a Boat feel small, even with 3 cabins and 10 berths. I think the kids say, 'Don't be a Dick'.

Other questions, just ask. Some hatches/doors are 19"(0.5m) so caution to the v. large.

cheers, T
