<p>I've sailed with Brad. He's good sailor and a great person. Very easy going and fun to have on board. I'd cross an ocean with him. For what it's worth ;)</p>

<p>I totally understand about doing a trial run to Cabo Verde. I am fully free all of December through January, so I can be flexible on the dates (I know how sailing "schedules" can go!). I really appreciate the possible opportunity to cross on a Wharram, as it will make sailing my Tiki all the more enjoyable. My email is bradsk806@yahoo.com if that is easier to stay in touch for you. Keep me posted.</p>

Hi Brad. Tanks for your interesting proposal. I think I would require to sail together on the boat before deciding if we get along for the Atlantic crossing. Here is a tentative schedule for the trip. Mid august we shall cross the Bay of Biscay from Belle-Île (that is in southern brittany in France) to La Coruna in Spain. Then the long descent along the coast of Portugal to be in Lisbon the first half of September. October to mid november going down and spending Time in Madeira, Canary…
Hi Brad. Tanks for your interesting proposal. I think I would require to sail together on the boat before deciding if we get along for the Atlantic crossing.

Then the long descent along the coast of Portugal to be in Lisbon the first half of September. October to mid november going down and spending Time in Madeira, Canary Archipelago. Somewhere in december the last leg of the trip to Cabo Verde islands. Then wait the end of december for the established trade winds and do the crossing probably first days of January. I shall keep you posted on the exact dates, but a good idea would be to join us in Canary islands, cross to Cabo Verde together and Then do the transat. Let me know your thoughts on that plan. I shall post pictures of Tigaki on the Warram builder site. Pela se shoot Any questions you might have.

<p>Is it too soon to sign up for the crossing to Barbados?! I am from the US, but would have no issues with covering my own expenses for flights. I have been really wanting to complete a crossing, and I will have plenty of time off around the new year. I don't have a lot of offshore experience, but I have skippered a 41' Cutter on a 4 day passage across the Gulf of Mexico with winds up to 30 knots.</p>
