I have a 50' blue water boat in Maryland and will be there in June to spend several weeks of work on it and then I am off on a long trip to the West Coast. You would be welcome to accompany us from the Chesapeake to Charleston, SC in September. We will be well out in the ocean away from land and on the eastern side of the Stream. It's about 4-5 or so days at sea I believe the last time I was studying the route. I have a friend who is my all around fix it engineer guy and myself and I want 2 others so we can have comfortable watches. That time of year, barring hurricanes, is a great weather window as the NE gales are not happening yet and the early fall may be a great time to get down there. We will wait in Charleston or Savannah until the season is officially declared over before moving south to Florida and then on to the Bahamas for the a while.... So for that first trip of any length after our shakedown in the Chesapeake and up the East coast a bit, you may wish to consider that. Your culinary skills will be appreciated. You'd learn a lot simply by doing and taking part in the voyage, or perhaps joining us for a day or two in August as we work out the kinks so to speak.
Kind regards

Doug,

Thanks for the invite. I'd love to join you . Let me know of the specific expected dates- unfortunately I do have a fairly rigid work schedule, but maybe a window of opportunity may open. I went to Med School in Charleston- so that would be a bonus to sail there! - George

Are you available for a Caribbean trip soon? Need help from Martinique to Antigua, would be a 1-2 week trip.
