Caribbean to Panama, Tahiti-Pacific-Australia.

Caribbean to Panama, Tahiti-Pacific-Australia. I plan to leave The British Virgin Islands (near Tortola) on about the 22nd January 2017 and sail to Tahiti. Via Jamaica, Cuba and San Blas to the Panama. Panama to Galapagos then to the Marquesas and on to Tahiti. Then Island hopping to Australia. Weather permitting, I can only indicate the route not exact timings. I would like to reach the Pacific by the end of March and Tahiti by the end of May

My Bavaria 46, has 4 cabins so 4 or more is possible and has worked well in the past. I am easy going but a stickler for proper procedure and safety, which is the priority. Part or all of the trip considered. Experience and enthusiasm is essential. Small contribution and share expenses, except fuel. Share all cooking, watches and duties as we are all crew and not passengers. We eat fresh food and really well when possible. Non Smoking please. Drink as much as you like at port but nothing while underway. Love to hear from you. Geoff.

Re: Caribbean to Panama, Tahiti-Pacific-Australia.

Hi Geoff,
My name is Olga and I'm in Panama looking for a boat to cross Pacific Ocean.
I'm 23 y.o. from Poland.

I'm positive, open-minded person, easy-going, but hard working.
On board I can do antything: cook, clean, paint, keep the night watch on my own, take care of kids... I'm quick learner as well.
I've sailed more than 5000 Nm. I'm sailing since 8 years old and sailed on a small yachts (mostly with my parents and friends) as well as on a bigger boats (up to 128 ft long). I've crosed Atlantic Ocean in November and now I'm in Panama.

I'm traveling during my gap year (taking a break after graduation in July and before master degree).
I love traveling and sailing, outdoor activities and non-fiction books. During my trip I want to explore the world, but I'm also prepared to work hard to make the best of the trip.

Re: Caribbean to Panama, Tahiti-Pacific-Australia.

Hi! My name is Jennifer and I'm a dentist from Sweden who have taken time of work indefinitely to explore the globe. I'm 26 years old and have been sailing with my family every summer my entire life, but we've only been sailing in the Baltic sea.

If you want to get in touch, the easiest way would be to write on messenger. My name is Jennifer Sofia Elisabeth Borys.

Best regards
Jennifer
