Got a little job to do later this month I have to deliver this Its work but not as we know it from Southampton to Alicante 10 day trip weather permiting.

Its a tough life but someone has to do it

That is the kind of work I need Dave. Need any crew?

Chris

It's hard work but someone's got to do it

There's a word for people like you....











....its round here somewhere.....









...ah ha! Here it is.......



























GIT

I think he ^^^^^ sums it up perfectly!

Dave,
May I put myself forward as crew ?
I'm fully trained, having come second in the Annual Scouts regatta at Fairlands lakes in 1976.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Mo,



He's looking for crew not ballast!!

10 days without a LR and no mud on sight, just surrounded by water?? No, thanks!



OK, you REALLY suck!! I'll be on vacation from this wednesday until the 19th. I don't know nothing about boats, but I'm excellent at the "sleeping on the deck while getting a tan" part. Are you interested?

Oh so cruel Charles

Strange as it sounds I do sometimes have trouble getting crew.

I dont know yet about this trip because the owner wants to do some of the trip with me and qualify as a day skipper during the trip.

This is a nice one though as there are no deadlines for getting to Alicante and the boats pedigree is suberb it has true Trans Atlantic capability. They are not all like this and sometimes you are forced to push on through weather that under normal circumstances you would wait for to blow over.

I once took a 95 ft Trader out to Gibralter to meet the owner and his family and ending up with a nightmare trip in horrendous weather to get there because he was waiting. I spent 36 hrs on watch because my other two crew where to ill to get out of theirs bunks.

Othertimes you can cross the Bay of Biscay and spend hours in flat calm on the bow watching the dolphins.

As for no mud I did once find some coming out of the Thames Esturay and spent 12 hours looking at it with the nearst sea over a mile away. Lucky the owner wasnt with me on that trip

Once had a pleasant couple of days on a 60 odd foot Fairline, squardon I think it was, around Mallorca. Belongs to the parents of a mate of mine. I couldn't belive how much fuel it used

Dave,

My heart goes out to you, I mean its just dreadful you having to put yourself out like this

I hope you have alcohol and Sat TV to trake away some of the pain and suffering






Nige

cool, I get to be the doom and gloom guy.

Didn't a guy skipper something similar out to spain/morocco and because it was later used in drug smuggling he's still in a morrocan jail. IIRC he's from the southampton area.

best establish a secondary ID now
