Crew Wanted: Two Crew Needed Florida to Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Possibly Cuba

[prophecy]

Hi, my husband and I are looking for experienced crew for a Caribbean trip beginning mid December. The tentative plan is to leave Fort Pierce Florida mid December, and either head to the Keys or the Abacos. Then work our way south to the Exumas, and hopefully get the boat to Puerto Rico by April.

It is possible we will join friends and make a stop in Cuba mid-January.

We have room for 2 crewmembers in our 48' Formosa Ketch. Our sailboat draws 7 1/2' so someone who has experience sailing in the shallows of the Bahamas would be a huge benefit to our trip. The Prophecy is a good size, heavy boat, and it really takes 3 to sail her, so we are hoping to find someone that knows their way around a sailboat. We'd love to find someone that can speak some Spanish as well.

We are a married couple, 52 and 65. We have sailed extensively in the great lakes, but have just sailed 2 seasons in the Caribbean. We are non-smokers, drug free, enjoy evening cocktails, good food, wine and music. We are looking for like-minded people, and would love to find a cruising couple to join us, but are open to singles as well. Check out our profile for some photos of us and the boat.

This is a non-paid opportunity, you will need to get yourself to and from the boat, and contribute towards shared food. We are looking for crew that can make at least a 4 week time commitment. PM for more info.
Thanks, Amber and Tim

My wife Eve, 54, is an experienced cook and novice deck hand but we both know our way around a sailboat. We would cover our to-from airtravel expenses.
