Hello Friends
Following is an itinerary, which should be looked upon as an outline for a series of passages. As the actual dates and
passage times may vary a lot depending on
weather conditions and other factors such as crew change overs. The timing has been selected to avoid rough
weather and rely on the
trade wind direction at this time of the year to make way in as comfortable a way as possible
The most difficult part of the planning is to maintain a minimum of 3 crew members including me, but ideally 4 people needed to take the S V Sabu from
Brisbane to Krabi as some members may only want to take a few days of the trip. This is why i am putting it out there now to see if anyone is interested in joining to help plan the voyage. If the response is good and there are more than one person wanting to join for a particular part of the voyage i will put conflicting wishes in a hat to make a choice
S V Sabu will be totally virgoed for the voyage and well prepared in every way. This yacht has already completed a long ocean voyage from
Germany to
Australia via the Americas without any problems so it is a well proven vessel.
As i have been sailing around since my first
boat after leaving high
school and much latter in a similar
boat to Sabu for 12 years sailing along the
east coast of
Australia i feel very comfortable and confident of being able to compete the planned adventure in a boat that is well equipped with all modern
safety and
navigation aids. After a long stay in
Thailand my plan is to
head off across the
Indian Ocean to
Madagascar but that is another story
Available Accommodation consists of
1 double berth for 2 people and
1
single cabin for 1 person
The only cost will be to share the cost of
fuel,
food and beverages,
laundry and items for personal use. A kitty will be arranged for these purchases
Whilst the boat is extremely spacious and there are places to have some private alone time
storage space is limited so what you would like to bring along with you will have to be discussed beforehand
Look forward to hearing from you
love and hugs
