Solomon Islands to Australia

Looking for enthousiastic, good natured, capable crew for a 5 months trip from the Solomon Islands to Townsville/Cairns via PNG. Cooking skill is a definite bonus as well as some sailing and diving experience.

ALK is a very solid steel Dutch sailing yacht fully equipped for diving. Main goal for this trip is diving. Several crew will join along the way but looking for one crew who will be able to join me for the whole trip. Plan is to leave from Ghizo in the Solomons by the first week of March and arrive in Australia end of July.
ALK is a clean and organized boat and I have a lot of experience sailing/diving with crew.
Get an idea of my trips on ALK's travelblog

Re: Solomon Islands to Australia

Hi
That is one amazing trip you are on. I can't do the 5 months but contact you just in case you may need a crew member along the way. I am 52 and can sail, was a dive instructor many years ago and can cook ( no chef though). Please have a look at my Bio and if anything comes up, please let me know.

Re: Solomon Islands to Australia

Dear Kolin,

My crew plan for the long term crew is complete but I may have room for an extra crew for a certain period. But cannot promise anything at this point in time. If you are possibly interested in a shorter trip, send me an email at hvrijn08atgmail.com with some details about yourself.
ALK is lying in Liapari, Solomon Islands now.
At syalk.blogspot.com you get an idea of the kind of sailing/diving I do.

Regards
Hans

Re: Solomon Islands to Australia

Great blog Hans!

Wish I could join you, but now with a young family my adventure days are over.

Are they still manufacturing the stainless steel water cisterns on Liapari?

Since you're in that area, try diving on the far side of Tetepare.

If you get to Munda stop into the Kava bar and tell Milton his American friend says hello.
