Just feeling things out for now, no set dates at all or anything.....I want to find out if anyone would be interested in a tarantula safari? It would consist of sailing my sailboat down the coast to mexico/central america, maybe west coast of south america and /or hopping across the pacific to southeast asia/south pacific. A coastal journey seeking specimens that are unusual , rare or even as yet unknown. Scientists, scholars and hobbyist are all welcome but do need to have sailing experience to come along. sailboat is a seagoing craft built of steel, ketch rigged and can accomodate 3-4 at atime comfortably...... any indiana jonses(or lara crofts?..lol)out there itching for adventure( new world T's-of course you will be itching!) :drool:

I have to say that would be an incredible trip! Due to recent personal issues, i wouldn't make a good candidate. But I would like to ask how is the weather nowadays for sailing long distance? Also do you prefer keeping proximity to the shorelines or go into open ocean?

Are they called "rooms" on a boat? I thought it was a "cabin" hahaha

due to a change in circumstances I have to sell my boat and move to nevada or california where I will certainly be on the lookout for T's and wanting to do weekend safaris to go to T country and seek 'em out.....after this week though there is no more boat. it would have been awesome.
