Will, best of luck with your crew search, but just a couple of tips on the forum:

- its better not to put your email address in the post as it will become food and drink to spammers.
- it is forum 'policy' to not post the same thread on two or more boards as you have. At a minimum, it can cause confusion in that you end up with more than one conversation running, which in turn winds some people up.

Whoops, Ok thanks for those tips,

Much as I'd love to do the trip I can't but I'm just waiting to see how long it takes for Susy to see this

Not sure it's one for Suzy - you need to have a rifle in order to land, to be able to defend yourself against polar bears. Caused some aggro between Popeye and myself when he sailed there a few years back - I reckoned that an average polar bear , on seeing 8 crew in a "tin can" was a PB equivalent of Fray Bentos, therefore ready to eat.
As it was, they didn't even see any PBs

Sounds a bit like Southampton!

Can i sign on as cook or navigator/helmsman/person next year?Ive sailed mostly in the Med but have run aground all over Irland/Brittany/Maldon my navigation is first class

Ive used a sextant for the last 20 years and always run aground or the port had moved just before i arrived.With my Garmin 120 the problem of ports in the wrong possition vanished?

I found the ports or positions but the tides had change there time without notice!!I bought a clock but it got wet! i arrived not when the tide was on ebb but makeing!Damm Atlantic coast I mean it made and not ebb!!

Im the perfect choise for your ventuer!I await your acceptance.When do we leave and should i bring my walm sleeping bag or do you have very walm beding??

Would you outline your stock of wine and spirtis you will take aboard.Perhas there i can be of help!As well
