Crew Wanted: Looking 4 Crew San Diego To Hawaii

[Dsanduril]

No disagreement, my only issue is the OP asking for crew and posting "it's safe, it isn't hurricane season because the Pacific gets typhoons from September to April" when there is an eastern Pacific hurricane season and NOAA considers the season for the eastern north Pacific to start May 15. Couple that with a pool of water from California to Panama to Hawaii that is 1-2 degrees C above seasonal averages (as of 4/4/16) and you have an invitation to an early season.

No reason not to go, from California to Hawaii you are generally above the track (as you have cited), just feel that potential crew reading this forum should be informed as to risk/options.

No disagreement here, either. The NE Pacific hurricane season runs from May through September, but May and June are generally low-risk. Every year it's a crapshoot, and even mild El Nino conditions can make things more extreme.

I am not set on a absolute date weather forecasting will be considered and the pacific cup starts july 11 I have been told by many this is the best time of year to go. its the fear mongers that stay in port and never cruise

[Paul Elliott]

I've been on the Pacific Cup board of directors, and there are four main factors that determine the July start date and time:
1) Our guess as to the state of the Pacific High -- how soon is it going to move north and focus?
2) The tides (currents) at the Golden Gate Bridge -- we like a slack, or at least not extreme current for the start.
3) The phase of the moon -- it's nice to have a well-lit moon in the sky.
4) Participants and families summer vacation schedule.

These often conflict, and the race starts are staggered over five days or a week (depending on the mix of boats), so we do the best we can.

I guess my point is that the race start date selection may not use the same priorities as you would choose.

Finally, unless the hurricane season was getting off to a noticeably early and dangerous start, I would have no qualms about leaving for Hawaii in June or mid-July. In June you may have to sail further south, or do some serious motoring (because of the Pacific High). It's a great trip and I highly recommend it.

Are you looking for experienced crew? My girlfriend and I aren't experienced unfortunately but we both are interested in sailing and plan to buy a boat within the next few years. We are in our mid twenties and are able bodied people who learn quickly.

Hi SV Perserverance,
Would appreciate if you contact me when you are relaxing in Hawaii. We also have a Hunter Passage 42 and I'm considering solo Hawaii in June 2018 after our next haul out. We've also been upgrading systems. Would like to learn about your trip prep, track route, time, and trip experiences.

Have an awesome sail and may all the winds be in your favor.
