Hello Bruce,

I have three years on you but you have more experience thanI (only 100T rated). Regardless, you are welcome along anyhow :-).

I just posted someting that should be up soon. Generaly it goes like this -- except i made sure to say I was a nice guy too:

Canadian Maritimes and Newfoundland aboard Luxury Cockpit Hatteras Motoryacht
I am presently on the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec having gotten here from Annapolis via the Hudson River, the New York Barge Canal, the St. Lawrence Seaway and river. I have visited Montreal and Quebec City, etc. My plan is to head next to Newfoundland's west and south coasts and then the Bras d'Or Lakes of Nova Scotia, the coast of Nova Scotia, and then finally make my way back to Annapolis either coastwise through Maine and Massachusetts or with a couple of offshore jumps, depending on weather and time.

That was my plan. But my crew member (recruited through this forum in April) had to head back to Texas due to the sudden death of his business partner. The seasonal window for Newfoundland is only so wide. I am at the appropriate jumping off point for the next leg in terms of location and time. Would you like to come along?

This is not a paid position (both insurance and US Customs issues make that inadvisable) but I will pay all boat and food expenses and your travel costs both ways. I would like to stay out until about the 15th of October but I am flexible. If you cannot make the entire trip that might work as it would buy me time to find another person for other legs.

Please give me a call at 202-359-0781 or email me at michael@mkanellc.com to discuss this unusual opportunity.

Swan 59" "Swansong" British flag Contacted me through my personal e-mail Balboa YC Panama I am amazed at the responses of people wanting serious crew and responding to two chicks with an 80 pound dog. I take this seriously. Much of these adventurers are going to put others lives at risk.
