Circumnavigation

I had previously posted that i was leaving this October, but I had to change plans due to the crazy interest rates. I was going to refinance my house and rent it, but not at 7%. Looking to leave Long Island NY at the end of summer 2024, probably to head south in October. Bounce around the Caribbean for a while, head west to check out the San Blas, Rio Dulce and then the Canal. Pacific island chains here we come.
I would prefer someone with some sailing experience but isn't totally necessary. If you have a cigarette, beer or cocktail that's fine, but I'm not into any drugs at all. Some Kava on the islands I'm all in, but if you're a pot head don't waste my or your time. I'm not getting locked up because you decided to hide some weed on my boat. You should be able to cover your personal expenses and help out with groceries. Sounds like a long way off, but spring will be here before you know it.
