On further thought Dean. If you get a chance to check with your friend about his crew for the trip up. I'd be happy to talk with him about filling any gaps in crew he may have for for that trip.

I bring 25 + years small boat charter skipper, 50k + miles offshore cruising experience, one season working in Alaskan waters.
Yada, yada, pretty strong boating background.

And am very interested in spending more time up that way.

Cheers Richard
