Hi Kirk,

My name is Nicolas and I'd like very much to join your adventure. I'm a certified coach, doing sport and life coaching, computer geek and lifeguard by profession (CPR, first aid experience) and life is giving me the opportunity to live an old dream to go on a sailing voyage and I'd very much like to do so. I currently live in Singapore/Bali. I've also got my competent crew license from when I lived in Sydney, 4 years ago and have done a little sailing (HobieCat 18) in Singapore, so I'm not the best sailor but I'm very pro-active and immensely coachable so I know I'll be a great crew member. I'm also a decent cook so I shouldn't poison the crew when cooking.

Please let me know if you have a place on your Hylas, when you go through Singapore or Bali as I'd love to join.

Fair winds!

Hey kirk
I'm probably the least qualified candidate but still feel necessary to leave a post.
I'm 25 currently working at a guest ranch in Montana enjoying the summer in the mountains. I don't have experience sailing but eager to learn. I enjoy reading a lot and sailing has been favorite topic. Either way I'm would be available and feel privileged to ride along. I'm quick when it come to picking up things as well in great shape. I enjoy rock climbing, fishing, treking, and music.

Thanks for your time.

Also, for those who are reading this any suggestions on good literature on sailing? Looking for more know how on sailing. As well any good sailing school suggestions, I'm looking for the best place to learn. THanks!

Hi Kirk,
I tried to PM you but your box is full.. Here is the message that I was going to send:

Hi,
My wife and I just returned from San Diego, where our boat is/was and are currently in Sydney. We would love to continue our love of sailing especially with a certified captain and reliable boat!! My wife and I are medium experienced as I've been sailing off and on since the age of 12. We both love to cook and are very reliable for boat chores and watch.
Please let me know if it is is available and if you need anything from us. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,David

Hi Kirk,

Have a look at my little personal profile I just made. I'm a Trinidadian 25 year old guy, been living out of Trinidad for about 7 years, mostly in Canada and last year in Panama. I've made some big exciting life leaps recently, and sailing is in my blood.. A voyage of a few months at sea has been calling me for some time now.

As I say in my profile, I have some things lining up in Latin America and Trinidad right now, but if this seemed too right with you I might just put all that on hold. Might be able to be available from say mid-October. Legs of the trip I'd be interested in: Basically Bali onwards

I'm dying to see that South Pacific area.. If it weren't possible this rounds, perhaps from January in South Africa heading back west to the Caribbean Waters..

Fair winds :-)

Dear Kirk,

I only just read your post and I see you are leaving in August. If you don't already have your crew sorted, I was wondering if you have a departure date?

I am Vanessa, and I am living in Australia with my boyfriend. We are looking to get back to the US, but Trinidad would be close. We would love to accompany you the entire route (like i said, if you still have room). We both love to cook (Kevin is a professional chef), are clean, respectful, and really want to learn how to sail. Just thought I'd take a chance to sending a reply. Thanks!

Vanessa

Very interested in your trip. I was unable to send you a personal message, as your mailbox was full but sent an email instead. I can be available at any time for the right situation. I will not disappoint. Look forward to hearing from you asap.

Canario · 31-07-2013, 23:54

Hi again!! I left you a message some time in June... I apreciate you are only collecting names, but... I would find it nice if you could get back to me and make clear if you are still looking for crew, and... if so, if you are considering me as an option... if not, all good, but... its always good to know where we stand

I will be arriving Brisbane tomorow morning and headding to Byron that same day, but... I could always change plans in order to catch up and have a meeting with you.
Best regards,

Canario.

Hello Gallivanters,

I am currently based in New Zealand where my visa will expire in September.

I am willing to take a plane to get to wherever a boat is, and hopefully join on a sailing trip.

I have river and lake sailing experience. I have 'captained' boats (flying scot; rainbow) in these environments with crew that have never sailed before. Other than that I don't really have too much sailing experience but I am really interested in learning more.

I am a geographer at heart and am up for adventure! Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Cheers,
JJ

PS. You're message box is full apparently as I was declined sending you a private message.

Hi Kirk,
Are you already underway? I emailed you, but want to make sure you get my message, so will answer here as well. I have no sailing experience, but am super beautiful (inside, hee hee), pretty witty, extra fitty, not so twitty, and an excellent cook. I speak elementary Indonesian and am conversational in French. I can be there/anywhere immediately.
Cheers,
Emily
