I made it about 40% of the way to Lord Howe in 2009. This year I aim to get there for the annual BBQ which is usually the second Tuesday of November. I want to go 2 or 3 handed and thought I would expand the crew search this time around. I will go solo if I need to but it will be more fun with company.
If anybody can spare 2 or 3 weeks in early Nov, knows how to be on watch in an S&S34 type yacht and is prepared to undertake a few work up sails before the trip please email me on [email protected]. It will be about 4 days over, 3 or so days in the lagoon or ashore and then 4 days back. Home base is Pittwater.

Might have found a victim for you. Friend of mine in town owns a Cavalier 32 and sailed it single handed to Lord Howe last year. Seems interested, I might have mentioned him to you last time you were down. I'll drop him off your email address tomorrow.

Thanks mate. I have got a few possibilities from my note on Seabreeze. A few of my sailing friends up here might be interested but being interested and being available for the time are different things.
The more possibilities the better chance of success.
I was down south a few weekends ago. The wife and I had a look around Kiama/Jamberoo for a place, some lovely country and great old houses but the lack of mooring possibilities, except where you are, reduces the attraction for me.

The mooring and slipway situation in Kiama harbour is a bit of a weird situation. Several of my mooring neighbours are from the Dapto /Kiama area.
