Hi there ,
Hopefully travel lockdowns will be eased soon, are you still looking for crew to help you ?
Cheers

But yeah, being in Melbourne kinda limits your options, doesn’t it.

I suspect, like me, you’ll be watching like a hawk for the states to come to some kind of an agreement on cross border travel. It is reasonable to assume it is going to require you to be vaccinated, so if you haven’t sorted that one out for yourself yet I’d get on to it now. It would be a shame to miss the cross-border frenzy when it happens.

Sorry mate, I’m only 300 nautical miles from my destination now with a weather window two days from now that might see me do the remainder of the trip in one hit.

Of course, the first 600 nautical miles have taken the better part of two months to complete, so I may be kidding myself.

To Rigger-sailor My boat is located in Brisbane area, Scarborough. I'm headed back to the boat on Apr 12th Brisbane time. Below is my crew wanted ad. Not sure if you are still available.



Australia to Home
Australia has opened up as of Feb 20th for tourists so we can get back to the sailboat located in Brisbane and go to other countries that are open enough along the route west about to get home. The route is Brisbane, Tanzania, Durban, Richards Bay, Cape Town, Caribbean, Panama Canal, Hawaii, and Seattle. About 25,000 nm overall which would take about 8 ½ months at 100 miles a day plus stops along the way for safari, tourist stuff, food, fuel and maybe repairs?
If anyone is interested in helping out along one or more of the above legs my prospective experienced Russian crew of three from Siberia seem to be having flight problems thanks to Putin and sanctions. A smaller crew would be better due to space and personal gear. I am looking for two would ideal, to one person who would be interested in helping out for the above route. The boat is a 40 foot, Caliber 40 LRC, 2001 year that more information can be seen on our blog svcodeblue.wordpress.com, then “code blue the boat” for pictures, equipment information and such. There is also a factory website still up at CaliberYacht.com then Models, Caliber 40 LRC SEries, that shows various information about the model of the boat. There is a special App that most US citizens and from seven other countries a person can go to and get an Aus visa in about 30 minutes for Aus$20, about US$15. You need a current passport and other information qualifications needed that most people would not have a problem with, that I can provide information on. Judy, my wife, had an aortic heart valve replacement in 2017, that turned out great and doing fine, but she doesn’t want to be away from medical help if needed on long passages. Maybe Caribbean thru the canal with stops along the way. We’ll see how it goes. If you or someone you know that would be interested please contact me at my email dauzy1 at gmail dot com. There are websites for crew/skippers might be a good alternative from someone in the South Pacific, I’ll probably try once I arrive April 12th. Please note: This is all written in sand at low tide.
