Crew Wanted: Caribbean 2014: BVI/Aruba/BVI

[AquaLeopard40]

Hello Ya'll,

Next summer I am taking my 2006 Leopard 40 cat from the BVI to Grenada (and Trinidad if weather dictates) then to Aruba. We will return via PR.

I will leave in July and return in November.

I currently have a series of friends and family coming for parts of the trip, but am open to un-paid crew who wants to join for all, or parts of the trip.

Here's the deal:
- I will pick up food and boat related costs.
- Crew pays for drinks (moderate drinking only please).
- Crew pays travel costs.
- Everybody takes turn cooking, cleaning.
- We takes turns on watch.

Here is the boat (I charter it out during high season).

I have also attached a very rough view of the planned route.

Let me know if you are interested.

Cheers-M

Hello, I have completed recently my ASA 101 and am looking for opportunities to go sailing. I have special interest for Catamaran while I hope one day I could be sailing with my family in one!!!... I am not a fully experienced sailor but have been out with no issues and very whiling to learn while enjoying the time on board... Due to my job I can only spare a maximum of two weeks in a row but will need when, where and how... Please let me know your contact details so we can be in contact and arrange further... BTW, I live in Orlando - Fl ...

Thanks
Angel Hernandez

Hi Angel,

Shoot me an email at Mark_McMillan_CA@Yahoo.com and we can discuss the trip.

The trip is four months, but I am sure we can figure out two weeks for you.

Cheers,
Mark

Hello Mark,

I have sailing experience on a Leopard 43 that came from the Caribbean and is now in the SF Bay. I am USCG Licensed Captain that is available as crew, as I'm still learning and honing my skills. Experience is what I'm looking for, I'm hard working, attentive to details and an easy person to "sail along" with. Anxious to know if you have finalized your crew or not. My email is aburgin20@yahoo.com. I look forward to hearing from you! -Angelika

[AquaLeopard40]

Thanks Angelika. I send you an email.
