Aloha clubbers,

I had planned a crossing from Washington to Hawaii last year but got delayed by the season and lack of available crew.

Now planning to leave Washington in early May to head along the west coast of da mainland to maybe Baja or just southern California before heading west to Hilo.

Looking for crew to help out again.

Rhonda, Gary, and Diggory have expressed interest but, so far I don't have any confirmed crew besides myself.

50' center cockpit ketch with plenty room and offshore equipment.

Also have a 38' ketch with a pilothouse that might also be going if I can find enough crew for both boats.

Also possibly looking to sell the smaller vessle if anyone is interested in such a thing. 

Anyway, just so y'all are aware.

- Joel

With Rhonda and Gary going, Shanti and I would definitely be interested!

They both expressed interest recently when I told them my revised plan.

Neither have confirmed tho.

I'm sure the club would miss them if the were both gone for a month. 

I would prefer their company over random internet crew I have also been talking to but, some of those seem to be qualified candidates, I just dont know them personally.

I'm also still open to the 2 ketch fleet idea if enough crew want to come. 

My bigger goal is figure eights in the north and south Pacific till the frickin cows come home!
