Buddy Boating / Pacific NW Power Boat Cruising

« Last post by ArnieS on August 08, 2022, 12:04:25 PM »

We have a 48' pilothouse up in Bellingham Wa, and are frequently up there either cruising the San Juan Islands or Canadian Gulf Islands or working on the boat. There are times I am up at the boat myself and would be very interested in having a boating buddy or two to go cruising at various times of the year. Let me know your interest and we can discuss details.

Thanks

« Last post by MCranna on July 14, 2022, 09:38:06 AM »

I'm looking for opportunities to join a coastal or off-shore passage as crew for several days to weeks.  Open to US coasts and Caribbean. Flexible on cost arrangements.
Rocky mountain lake sailing experience and some coastal. ASA coastal cruising (101,103,104), coastal navigation (105), and catamaran (114) certifications.
