The experience

The boat is getting hauled out today and I am hoping that working on a one-of-a-kind wood and epoxy monohull with a lifting keel sounds exciting!
The boat is now in Carriacou, just north of the island of Grenada, and depending on how motivated we are I'm hoping to put it back in the water in a couple of weeks, which is only possible if I have help.
The boat yard has wifi, I'm a good cook, and the sun is shining. Interested?

Program Details

Managing to get the boat ready to go back in the water (wood, epoxy, electrical work mainly) will mean a cruising boat ready to go! You help with the work on the boat yard, and then you can pick which islands you want to stop at as we head north along the island chain. And while we work, I feed you.

Activities & Shift

Working in order of priority, we collaborate on boat work, which is varied and some of which I'll learn alongside you.

Rules

Respect the rules of safety, don't fall of the boat :)
