north pacific crossing. BC, Canada to Hawaii island

I'm looking for semi experienced to well experienced sailors who are looking to build miles and gain experience on a transpacific crossing from Vancouver island, BC, to Hawaii

There are two boats.
One 50' William garden cutter/ketch and one Horizon 36' ketch.

Leaving Vancouver island(Nanaimo) on September 4th with a short stop in Bellingham Washington for a fuel and provision stop and to collect extra crew members.

Looking for people of all skill levels and sets.
Need 8 people all together and have 4 so far committed.

Must be open minded and fun to be around.
Musical talents are a big plus, as are life experiences and storytelling abilities.

I will cover basic food needs(beans, rice, and oatmeal) and fresh drinking water(via water makers) but, bring your own extras and snacks and whatever you need for a long trip. Its best to bring "too much" than to bring "too little".

Musical instruments and talents are a plus!
Any other novelty items will also likely be appreciated.

There is onboard internet via starlink and we will be documenting the trip as well.

Also, I believe in God cause his works make him quite obvious. I have been blessed beyond measure in life and I can only thank the most high for this.
I love all people and want to share my blessings and help as many people as I can as a life work.
That being said, I am not pushy about this and my personal beliefs will not get in the way of any potential crew on any of my upcoming expeditions in the pacific and beyond.

Thanks for reading!
