Would you be interested in going to Seattle?

[IanUSA]

Thank you for your response.

Seattle. Hmmmm....On a 30'....hmmmm.

Yes, possibly interested.

When is projected departure and duration?

Is boat prepared for offshore? Radar? Please send detailed description of boat and also your own offshore experience.

How many crew? (Two might be enough.)

If timing and other preparations were excellent, it might not be as tough as usual. Probably best to get away from the coast and then angle back in. Need to research best tactics.

Please send private message or else send to my e-mail at IanMWashburn at gmail dot com. Then you'll get my phone number and we can talk.

Thank you again for your communication.
