Space from US to Hawaii?
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 |

Space from US to Hawaii?
I think there is plenty of skippers with lots of experience and lack of
money, so if you got money..... I think there are two options: 1: a US skipper from the bay area taking a "short" trip or 2: one of you fellow englishmen going round the world. In the last case that'll be through the Panama canal in the early spring (after they have followed the trade winds from Palmas and before the hurricane season) In case of option 2 contact one of your "local" ocean crusing organisations (I can think of: http://www.oceancruisingclub.org) and ask them. - and bear in mind that travveling in this way takes a lot of time. And time equal money. /Bjarke wrote in message oups.com... snip 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.

See if you can get someone living near a West Marine to post your request on their bulletin boards. |
