Crew Wanted: Puerto Vallarta to Panama Canal

[Wounded wing]

Hi I'm sailing my 48' CT ketch Grendel to and eventually through the Panama Canal from Puerto Vallarta, MX. I am looking to depart from PV sometime the first week of November. As of now I need at least two more crew members and three preferably. The trip will entail at least one stop in Huatulco to re provision, check out of Mexico and assess the Tehuantepec winds of Oaxaca.
The first part of the trip from PV to Huatulco should take about five to six days. We will be there for hopefully no more than a couple of days and then on to Panama with possibility of one stop in between. Grendel has two double stately berths as well as two bunks in a forward stateroom. Couples are welcome and sailing experience is preferable. The total trip from PV to Panama should take about three weeks. Please message or call Arthur:

Hi Arthur - sounds like a fun trip! I'm guessing a few others will have this question as well, but can you post a little more information on the equipment on that boat? Particularly regarding safety equipment (liferaft, radio, EPIRB, etc...)
