Thanks for your reply Anders. That sounds like a lot of fun, however, I'm going to be looking for something in the Caribbean first.

I am interested in crew to help return a Hunter 456 sailboat from the Abacos in the Bahamas to Brunswick Ga. in mid to late April. Crew could come a week to ten days early to cruise the Abacos. Jdeneault@gmail.com

I'm sitting on my 47' 20 ton lord Nelson in Lake Worth Florida close to the West Palm Beach airport. The weather is fantastic. I'm so comfortable i don't feel
much like moving after single handing down from the Chesapeake. Some was on the ICW, some offshore mostly to avoid the Georgia shallows as she draws 5'8".

I hesitate to pop over to the Bahamas single handing. i'd really like at least one there to share watches and the occasional lookouts for coral heads etc. It's kinds tough doing the visuals from the cockpit.
i'm 73, a ski instructor, in great shape and similar outlook.
Give me a call one evening and let's chat.

You appear to be the ideal crew mate for me; I'm also a design engineer, but an old one and lack the energy to complete what's necessary to get my boat ready for sea. Need to complete installing a new for-stay and furler and debug wind generator and solar controller plus rewiring a few lights. Pity you're only available for two weeks, the work would take that and then planning on passage to Cuba and on.

Well......that sounds like more work than sailing! To be honest I'm re-working alot of my boat over the winter months here. New solar panels and an arch. New wiring for all LED internal and exterior. New seat cushions, bowsprit, building a new and longer rudder because I'm not happy with the stock one(too much weatherhelm) New paint on the exterior and she's finally getting named. Adding new freshwater tanks for the galley and a composting head. My work's cut out but I'm getting there.
I'm lucky in that I enjoy doing this work and that I'm a good machinist and fabricator. Without the ability to TIG weld and produce CAD models and parts for my work I'd be lost. Still working on my sewing ability although I've repaired my genoa a few times with great success. Some of my work involves rebuilding high performance diesels for pulling tractors so engine work on a boat seems mundane. They're really quite simple in comparison(except for the new Tier 4 Diesels and all of their emission requirements) I come from an agriculture background so my base is very solid. Good to talk to a fellow engineer! Smart people sail
Good luck to you on your refit and smooth sailing!

There are some great places to redo your rigging. One of the first things I did when I took ownership of my boat and I'm so glad I did. I couldn't be comfortable without confidence in my standing rigging.

[QUOTE=FLGSHP7;2319211]Well......that sounds like more work than sailing!

Thank You for your response and yes my assignment is more a Busman's holiday for you.

My wife operates her own business for fabricating dodgers, Bimini, cushions, mattresses, etc so have no problem getting sewing done. And she is 20 years younger and too busy to help on the boat.

Good luck with your endeavors
