Very much interested. I will send you my sailing cv. No shore commitments. GREAT cook. Everyone says that. But seriously, I'd win on Chopped.

Very interested. Registered nurse and fluent spanish speaking. I owned "Cloud Nine," a Bowman 57 previously owned by Roger Swanson. Sailed her from Guaymas to San Diego and later to Monterey Bay as a support vessel for "The Great Pacific Race."

Again, Very Interested!

Best,

Hi there,

Do you or the ship have a website or someplace I can find more information about the voyage and the partnership with the biologists? I'm a writer and blogger with an interest in sailing and tall ships. Given the recent interest in Cuba, I think this might be an interesting story to write about.

You can send me a PM or email me at daughterofmagellan [at] gmail.com. Anyway, thanks for any info you could provide!

When you say "americans only" does that include canadians?

[DolphinBuddy]

I know of a crew of four. They are young gaff rigged schooner experienced crew that are just ending the season crewing on a 110' schooner from New England. They are presently transiting to her home port now. E-mail me at kevin@bigbend.net and I will give your their contact info. They are a well oiled teem that I spent the last two mths sailing with.

Is a gaff rigged schooner a "tall ship" !?

I thought only squared sails should qualify to that :-)

IMHO, if it has wooden masts of more than one section...ie topmasts, and also ratlines to climb aloft, then I would call it a tall ship.

Squares are nice too. Very nice.
