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 ˝ 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.
