Hi guys,

I am planning to be in Europe near the end of August, but could come earlier if this sail is a good fit for both of us. I just crewed a PDQ 32 from Texas to Cancun crossing the Gulf of Mexico in 6 days straight then 3 days coastal motosails to get around the peninsula. Please send me a Private message to discuss the trip more. Thanks Brad (42 yr, Canadian, Engineer, Spanish speaker)
