Space from US to Hawaii?

wrote:
Hola all,

Apologies if this is a frequently asked question on the NG.

I'm planning to do travel to Hawaii (from the UK) sometime later this
year (probably the summer), yet I want to travel sustainably, i.e. no
planes.

I figured it'll be fairly straightforward to get to the US by boat, and
then travel accross to the West coast. Am thus trying to find a way to
go from the US mainland to Hawaii... by boat.

When I posted on soc.culture.hawaii someone suggested asking here about
the possibility of someone needing a crew hand or having a space on
their boat. The immediate draw back of me is that I've got little
sailing experience.

What do you think my chances are? Will hanging around marinas trying to
hitch a proverbial lift work?

My original post to soc.culture.hawaii:

I'm hoping to travel (sustainably) to Hawaii sometime this year to work

for a few months on an organic farm of some kind...

Anyone got any ideas for getting from the mainland US to Hawaii
sustainably and cheaply?

I've had a few thoughts: Get a job on some kind of cruise ship, private

ship. Find a nice person with a private ship to ferry me. Swim. Etc.

It's looking like its going to be tricky, but flying there by plane
kind of defeats the object of good quality slow-time and sustainable
travel.

Many thanks if anyone can help,

Jack

Go to the Vic-Maui Race website and register. Try the TRANSPAC as well.
Some of those guys will need rail meat.
