Are you covering food, fuel and boat related costs, or are you looking for others to "share expenses?"

If you are looking to actually hire good crew, let me know. I'm at kim(at)jacktarmagazine(dot)com. I know a lot of good sailors and I like helping them find jobs.

Hallo!
We, a couple of 35 and 36 age, would be happy to join part of the tour. We have of from beginning of July to beginning of September.
So it would be a part of your tour. Just would have to arrange from where and when.
Markus has SKS and SBF license, but we are only experienced in Croatia, and that not to much.
What type of crew are you looking for?

Hope hearing from you

Sonja, Markus

More details:

We are a 55 year old healthy fit couple with a small toy spaniel. Our vessel is a Tayana 48 foot cutter rig in excellent condition. Crew will be offered one of two forward berths with head and shower. Our goal is to leave Rio Dulce, Guatemala early June and then cruise the Southwestern Caribbean at an enjoyable pace but with a final destination of Cartagena in August. We are providing linens, food and boat costs. Your duties include watches and equal share of the boat responsibilities. Just as we can give references from past crew we would expect references from any new crew. Crew is expected to be healthy, fit and also non-smoking.

Please get with us with your qualifications and any additional questions.

Randy and Karen

Just returned from that venture. Don't miss Isla Providencia, Columbia. Beautiful!

I am currently in Roatan, Bay Islands Honduras and am interested in joing your crew. I have little experience sailing but vast experience "cruising" on power boats. I have great references and am available for about 4 weeks...starting in July.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Not having the knowledge, I want to ask; when is hurricane season in those areas, or are some or all out of 'the hurricane area' ?

[TQA]

Hurricane season [official] 1st June till 30th November

Not sure I would do that trip at that time.

See http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/tracks/2010atl.jpg and other years.

Hurricanes seem to form there with little warning. It is not like the Cape Verde hurricane factory.

Hi Kastheimer.....
I would like to join you and I'm in the Rio now.
I'll be staying here until I find a boat to crew headed south.
I just helped my friend John sail his boat from up north with a blown motor.
We're staying at the La Joya Marina so stop by anytime.
Hope to hear from you soon.
