DEMO ONLY – Crew Wanted for Pacific Crossing This is a demonstration advertisement only. Hi everyone! I’m planning a Pacific crossing from Panama (including a Panama Canal transit) to the Marquesas Islands, arriving in Nuku Hiva for check-in, and I’m looking for around five friendly crew members to join the adventure. Ideally you’ll have some sailing experience, enjoy being at sea, and be happy to take part in normal onboard life, including cooking and helping keep things running smoothly. We’ll run a 3-hour watch system. In rougher conditions we may sometimes have two people on watch together. The boat is very comfortable with three ensuite cabins, but we’ll need to be sensible with water use since the watermaker can only produce so much. A good sense of humor, teamwork, and not getting seasick would definitely be a plus! When we arrive in the Marquesas you’re welcome to stay on and continue sailing if things work out, but we can discuss that later depending on visas and plans. I cover all onboard expenses (food, fuel, etc.), but crew members are responsible for their own travel to and from the boat. If you already own a lifejacket and PLB, I recommend bringing them with you. If this sounds like your kind of trip, send me a message telling me a bit about your sailing experience and yourself, and we can chat further about the details. Looking forward to hearing from some great people!
