Come and study the ethnosphere and learn to sail! Unique ferrocement chinese junk-rigged sailboat needs crew for our expedition up the coast of Brasil to the Carribbean, Mediterranian and beyond. We are currently in Paraty, Brasil and will be heading up to Salvador, and the mouth of the Amazon in mid-may. Can join anywhere. Applicants must be ready, willing and able. No experience needed. Must be able to contribute financially. All information on our website, or email rvheraclitus@gmail.com

This is what I don't understand, you want crew to run your ship that are "ready, willing, and able" yet they are expected to contribute financially?
So we get to work our butts off for the pleasure of it?
Am I missing soemthing? Am I way off base? Please inform me.
What benifit is there in it for me other than the experince?

Hey CD—

Are you starting a fund for that, I'd gladly contribute.

TJK—

No, they expect you to slave away working as a deck hand and to help finance their floating concrete POS...

[mgmhead]

So this is like reverse employment... I get to work and pay you for the priveledge. YaHoo! That's change I can believe in...NOT.

If you google Heraclitus you can find their site. $1200/mo to join their "expedition". Looks like an interesting way to go on vacation to some rather remote places. They've been going since 1975!

$1200/mo is $40 per day, and you're working and not being paid. That just doesn't make any sense to me.
