Has anyone sailed on the tall ship, schooner Larinda. She is Junk rigged, and built by the Capt. Larry Mahan. I''m looking to go on her for awhile. They are asking for $30-$50 per day to be paid by the crew.
Any thoughts on this? The web site is www.larinda.com
They are looking for additional crew from Florida to Cuba and Panama.

I have not sailed on the boat but I do know a little about it. Capt Larry built it in his backyard over a 25+ year period. I lived down the street from him during some of the construction. I have never seen the boat sail , in it''s early days it did not have sails it powered everywhere.

Larry is a very talented and determined man.
