Crew Wanted: Seeking Delivery Captain - Honolulu to San Francisco July 2022

[goldenstate]

I want to hire an experienced delivery captain/team to bring my 1990 Ericson 32 sailboat from Honolulu to Sausalito California in the San Francisco bay, departing Honolulu on or around July 5th 2022.

The boat is in excellent shape and equipped with:

New standing rigging (2021)
New 4-person life raft (2022)
wind vane">Aries Wind Vane
Raymarine Wheel Pilot
Yanmar 3GM30F, well maintained
Main, jib, small asym
Lee cloths
60 gallons of fresh water
Katadyn watermaker
Raymarine N2K network with AIS
Balmar 70amp alternator
200w of solar power
20 tank + 15 jerry can =35 gallons of diesel.
IridiumGo Modem
PredictWind Offshore on IPad
406mhz EPIRB

My priorities are safety of people, then safety of craft. There is no rush to bring the boat back.

I am looking to pay a market rate to an experienced team. If you are interested in the job or know someone who is, please send me a PM.

The right candidate will have references and will not have any 'customer' crew members on board who are paying for the trip. Thanks in advance for your help.

I have made two HI to Mainland transits (just completed Hilo to Oxnard last month), many power and sail deliveries up and down US West coast, Baja HaHa, 2 central Mexico to SoCal and a Panama to San Diego deliveries. Physically, mentally, and psychologically fit. Sailing resume with references upon request.
