I spent an afternoon a few days ...Hello everybody.<br /><br />I spent an afternoon a few days ago with Captain Ray Thackaray in Oakland Ca. He is working on a project to send people out with free outfitted boats to various regions of the world to wait and be ready for disaster response situations. They have two boats now and another on the way and then probably more. The first has crew for the South China sea and in really well equipped. The second is a 36 foot sloop that needs captain and crew. The boat is ment to stay in the pacific between mexico and Panama. The exact location is up to the crew and and can be constantly on the move. A lot of info is available on the IRC website. Basically they give the boat free and a two year loan contract. The crew keeps up on maintenance and parts needed may be requested threw the organization. I Think it is a really good opportunity for people who are still learning about boats to spend time living on one without all of the financial burden and with some backup and also be involved in charity. Anyway anyone who has questions or wants to hear any of my personal thoughts on how it is working please send me a message or call. <br /><br />international rescue group @ http://members.internationalrescuegroup.org/<br />also also people who have boats can register as auxiliary members. <br /><br />Thank you,<br />TYLERENCAVALEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15020565216275388347noreply@blogger.com
