I'll be slowly cruising up the west coast of vancouver island, the inside passage, haidi gwaii then Alaska. No set schedule tell I see the clouds of departure. My partner and are comfortable and confident with my boat and the local area, we are only looking to add crew who are like-minded,chill, but Adventurists. Previous sailing experience isnt necessary as long as your willing to learn and contribute to the daily tasks of a boat. Think about weather this is the right kinda trip for you to join. As much as I like open ocean sailing this stretch of coast will be slow cruising tucking into nooks for the night and exploring lots of little shore spots along the way, how does that fair with your personality? Aside for good weather were we would be out surfing, diving or hiking, How do you cope with small spaces if the boats weathered into a cove waiting out rain or a windshift. This trip is still in the planning phase and departure dates are dependent on weather once spring opens up, But im going somewhere at some point...
