Atlantic Buddy Boat or Crew

---

Just wondering if there are any other trawlers thinking about crossing the Atlantic to the Caribbean?
We are currently getting ready to make our short legs to the Canaries then to Cape Verdes before the longer journey across to Granada.

If no other trawlers for buddy boating we would be looking for crew if anyone is available.

70’ Hatteras with 12V71TI’s 1000hrs on complete rebuild. Solid Detroit’s.

1870gal of fuel plus 450gal in bladders.

Personally I would think twice about that unless someone was paying me really well and I had a bullet proof weather window, which of course doesn't exist. On top of everything else the distance is 2300 nm..... at a mile to the gallon that's 2300 gallons..... and that's optimistic.

ON EDIT....... turned out they shipped across. Smart move.
