I red the name of (what I presume is) your boat Settlement which is going to take part in the Sail Indonesia Rally 2013 on next July.<br /><br />As I was advised I am planning to be in Darwin by late-June to start looking for a boat to get crew on; however, I’ve also learned that doing all the paperwork (C.A.I.T) takes some four weeks for what I started to look for a boat in advance.<br /><br />My name is Agustín, I’m 29 years old and I’m from Argentina, although I have the Italian citizenship as well. I took a course back in Argentina and now I'm living in Melbourne and I'm sailing and racing on a 45-foot yacht vessel at the Sandringham Yacht Club every week.<br /><br />I would appreciate any kind of information you would be able to share with me in case you know about any skipper which might be looking for crew for the rally.<br /><br />Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to hearing from you<br /><br />Kind regards<br />AgustínAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401443585948845582.post-46982645436094738702013-05-05T04:48:57.372-07:002013-05-05T04:48:57.372-07:00Great pic.

I found you after looking ...Hello Tiare Taporo III<br /><br />I found you after looking at the trawler refurbishing project in Nova Scotia.<br /><br />I also have a connection with Capt. Winchester. His daughter, Sarah "Lala" Winchester, married James Norman Hall, in Tahiti, 1925. He wrote many books including "The Bounty Trilogy"). Her mother was part of the Royal family of Tahiti. They had 2 kids, Conrad and Nancy. When Conrad was little, his maternal Grandfather, gave him his own little island, which the family still owns. Conrad became an Oscar winning cinematographer. I worked with him on many different projects before he died. I am good friends with his kids, Conrad Jr., Naia, and Kate.<br /><br />Recently I listened to Hall's first book, "Faery Lands of the South Seas", written in 1921. It's on a Free (public domain) Audio Book site:<br /><br />http://librivox.org/faery-lands-of-the-south-seas/<br /><br />It's about a trip he took on a trading schooner, shortly after arriving in Tahiti in 1920. It's very good.<br /><br />It's also available on Google Books, as a free eBook:<br />http://books.google.com/books/about/Faery_lands_of_the_South_seas.html?id=1N0RAAAAYAAJ<br /><br />For more on James Norman Hall and Sarah "Lala" Winchester Hall:<br />http://www.jamesnormanhallhome.pf/indexen.html<br /><br />I grew up near Hilo, Hawaii, from 1945 - 1955, on the edge of the tidepools. Anyway, I love the ocean, and have joined boats thru www.findacrew.com . . . 3 in the Med, 2 in the South Pacific (Tonga, Samoa, Fiji)<br /><br /> If you email me, I can send some other stuff that might interest you.<br /><br /> Cheers,<br /><br /> Bruce Byall sailaway.b@gmail.comsailaway.brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12480165824676434976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401443585948845582.post-42986753433341074402010-11-24T08:50:42.515-08:002010-11-24T08:50:42.515-08:00great to speak with you while you bounced off Lal ...great to speak with you while you bounced off Lal HQ - good timing on the skype call.
