New, Blue and looking for Crew!

[CariMeII]

Howdy everyone - I'm in the Clear Lake/Houston/Galveston area and trying to get South. Problemo - everyone says they'll go; but then "no-go". Sound familiar? Anywho, I may have to single hand it... I've got my Allied Seawind II Ketch ready to go (five years working on it) I need to get to Florida and then over to the Bahamas. If you know anyone realiable, adventuresome (like you maybe?) and ready to go, please have them/you call me at 281-339-0665 or EMail garybro@verizon.net

Meanwhile - any single handers out there to share some support or encouragement, I'd appreciate it...

What's the deal with the Bahamas? I hear it's a $300 entry fee...? Also, anyone traveling with pets, some tips would surely help. I've a dog & cat who are really going to be surprised soon!

I look forward to hearing from y'all and becoming a part of the cruising community. LOL - Gary

Gary - you have about 3 different sections that you may want to post in .. trying to put such diverse subjects into one post probably won't yield you much. I've moved your post to the Looking for Crew .. you might want to post in other sub-forums for the other questions.

Good luck.
