      Hello,

      I am planning to sail to Bermuda 6/18 from Portland, Maine…unfortunately, one of my crew had to drop out due to a family emergency. I am looking for a blue water experienced sailor for the trip.

      None of the crew has blue water experience. Currently, I have 2 remaining crew, one with extensive boating experience, the other with little. I have extensive coastal experience and have my 50 ton masters ticket. The boat is well equiped with all the rigging (Standing, running and chain plates) replaced over the last 5 years. I have a new DSB ISAF liferaft, a EPIRB with GPS, a Icom 718 with a SGC-230 autotuner, as well as plentiful spares.

      If someone can only make that outbound leg, that would also be welcome. I realize that this is last minute, but without another experienced person, I’ll be forced to scrub the trip. If you know of someone who would be interested please have them contact me. I have provisioned the boat so the only expenditures the person will incur will be travel to Portland, ME.

      Thanks for your help.

      What about a return from Bermuda. I live in the Charleston, SC area and have sailed from Ft Lauderdale to Bermuda to Stamford, CT three times. I have sailed through the Caribbean twice. I also have sailed over 50,000 miles on my Pearson 424 ketch rigged sailboat mostly offshore including sailing through the Caribbean before I sold it about five years ago. Since then I have chartered in the Grenadines and sailed with friends.

      My problem is that my finances are extremely limited and would need transportation back to SC from Bermuda. Any ideas?

      My home telephone number is 843-881-1648

      We have resolved our crew issue. We’re good to go (depending on weather). Thanks for looking.

      Or little Dog Lilly is featured in a (tiny) ad for bedsheets in this
      Moths Lats and Atts. Ra’s V berth and Quarter Berth are pictured.

      Splotch is cute and all too, but Lilly’s earning her keep, we got two
      sets of $200 sheets. Though, she did ‘dig’ through one set… Bad dog!
