69 year old male
captain, experienced with multihulls, recently purchased 36' Solaris Sunstar
catamaran.
Boat is in Rockport, Tx, area having
survey findings dealt with.
Boat is in good condition. Details on request to prospective crew.
This is a non paying position, expenses will be paid, probably including transportation unless you're doing a round trip from some distant place.
Onshore expenses such as restaurants and bars are yours. Well, a landfall celebration in
Florida would probably be on me.
I hope to sail straight across the gulf to
Florida, but that is dependent on
weather. The trip may be partly
ICW for that reason. I do not wish to sail coastwise along
Texas, Louisiana, etc. due to the
oil rigs and traffic.
You should have some sailing experience, be healthy, intelligent, personable, and willing to follow instructions. No smoking, drugs, or intoxication. We be grownups here, so if you want a drink on board the requirement is sensible behavior. If you like to cook that's a bonus. The cook doesn't do dishes so I will.
Comfortable
cabin available for a
single or a couple.
Departure in 2-3 weeks from either Port Aransas or Galveston.
Destination is the
west coast of Florida, where exactly depends on the
weather gods. If that sounds vague it's because I intend to use the existing weather conditions to have a comfortable and fast trip to Florida. Since my final
destination is Daytona, I want to get to the
west coast safely and quickly, then
work my way around to the
east coast in a somewhat leisurely fashion.
This is an excellent opportunity for sailors interested in multihulls to gain some experience. I'm happy to share what I know, ranging from hard won knowledge to amusing lies lol.
Crew is wanted for
Texas to the west Florida coast, but may be extended to the keys or
east coast. I intend to make the disembarkment location suitable for the crew as much as possible. Trip could take anywhere from 6 days to three weeks, depending on
route and weather. Doing part of the trip might be possible if nobody suitable is available for the whole trip.
