Island Pearl II is a fully optioned up SM2000 in excellent condition. We are the 2nd owners and she has been carefully looked after since new, ( since factory delivered by the previous owners who employed an Amel technician for 10 yrs to care for her due to their light use), and then by us since late 2011. Internally looks like she left the factory yesterday, and externally is in very good for age condition with complete new rigging in 2016. Engine hrs 1900, generator hours 1000hrs as till now, she has never been cruised so none of the usual wear and tear on any of the numerous pumps, winches, anchor winch etc etc as in similar aged Amels. Our intention was to do a circumnavigation, but since departing Brisbane in May this year, Lauren has battled so much with sea sickness every day for 2 months now that she simply cannot continue cruising for health reasons, and I do not particularly wish to continue on around the world alone. We are currently cruising the Spice Islands of Indonesia, all systems (except minor aircon capacitator issue) on board are running flawlessly, and will now head for Bali before deciding where to next. To get an idea of the gear ob board you can see some brief videos of the boat on our trip thus far at www.svislandpearl.com by scrolling down to the bottom of page 1 and looking at our FB site posted there. The boat is UK registered (EU VAT not paid) and has also been imported Into Australia with duty and GST paid. We are OPEN TO ALL SERIOUS OFFERS so this could be a huge opportunity for someone here to purchase and have me sail her with you to your intended home port pretty much anywhere in the world. I currently have time and love sailing, and the boat is fully ready and loaded to go anywhere! Our intentions from Bali were to either spend time up in Thailand, or to directly cross the Indian ocean headed for Cape Town and the Caribbean. We depart Banda sailing towards Alor islands & Bali tomorrow so will not have internet for 3 - 4 days. For any interest email me at svislandpearl@gmail.com and we will reply with info once we are back in internet range in a few days. Regretfully Colin & Lauren Streeterwww.svislandpearl.com

Re: Island Pearl II - 2001 - SM2000 #332 For t
Hi Colin,
That is indeed very sad news. I hope you think it is the right decision. Judith doesn't sail voyages with me. I sail, she flies to destinations and meets up for local cruising. Sure, it's not circumnavigating, but it's better than nothing. Whatever you ultimately do, I wish you all the best and whoever does eventually buy Island Pearl will be blessed with a seriously good cruising boat. All the best Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

Hello Colin;
Sorry to hear such sad news. We all know how much time,
research and preparation goes into making such a plan
happen.
I'm sure you have already looked into the many
solutions available for preventing motion sickness. If you have not, I would
suggest taking a serious look at the multitude of options available. We have had
several guests on board that have been extremely susceptible to motion sickness,
some to the point that they could not even be in a car if the road had any type
of curves. We have been able to successfully sail with them through planning and
the use of many options available.
Also, time is a great asset, when it comes to
preventing motion sickness. Our bodies adjust with time, so may be some
additional time in concert with available solutions and picking easy cruising
plans may be another option that would be worth giving a
try.
I know motion can be debilitating and an extremely
unpleasant feeling, especially if it continues for days and I really do
understand how your wife must feel. I just wanted to throw in some options, as
the joys of cruising the worlds oceans is a great incentive to overcome the
challenges.

Good luck Colin. I hope that Island Pearl's new owners are exceptionally good owners like you and Lauren. Whenever someone looking for an Amel asks my opinion of what to look for, I always tell them to look at the owners first. Amel made a great boat in your Super Maramu and you have kept it in almost new condition. The new owners of Island Pearl will be very, very lucky.

Re: Routes From Georgia to Puerto Rico
greatketch@...
Courtney,
Some information you did not supply, but is critical for a recommendation. How long do you want this trip to take? Where in PR do you plan to make landfall? If you insist on doing it in one, in as short a time as possible go it WILL be tough. You will be close hauled most all the way, and the tradewinds can be brutal going the wrong way. If you have never tried such an upwind passage, I assure you it is much more uncomfortable than you imagine. This is NOT a trip do for fun, but because you have to, or because you do not know any better. Some recommendations you have gotten here are not exactly wrong, but will result in what--to me--would be a very unpleasant trip. With care, patience, and planning it does not need to be a "Thorny Path". The book you NEED to have is "Passages South, The Thornless Path To Windward." by Bruce Van Sant. Even if you do not follow his advice, he is clear about what you are going to be dealing with and strategies on how to make it as easy as possible. I'll warn you though, as an author he is cranky old cuss, and the book is self-edited, so is not always easy to read. But it is worth the effort. There is a LOT to consider, and it is impossible to summarize all the pros and cons in a one page email. We worked our way along that route this past winter, (Late December to February) pretty closely following Van Sant's advice. We NEVER had a rough beat into the wind. It took us weeks, waiting for weather windows in various places, but it was a delightful trip. Sometimes we waited just because we liked where we were. On average we probably waited for weather three days out of four. We left from FtL, crossed to Cat Cay, from there across the Bank to Chub Cay, then to New Providence, followed by Allen Cay, Shroud Cay, Big Majors Spot, Mayaguana, Turks and Cacos, and from there we got a perfect weather window for a three day jump straight to Mayaguez on the west coast of PR. That trip took a few days less than two months. Easy sailing every step of the way because we waited for the weather to go our way. If you like, you can follow those steps along in our blog, I hope the information in it is useful. I tried to include my weather thinking as we were making decisions along the way. http://fetchinketch.net I am not a delivery captain, I never travel on a schedule. I would never plan a long upwind passage in the tradewinds. It is NOT my idea of fun. Other people DO enjoy that kind of thing. More power to them. I'll go 1000 miles out of my way to avoid a week long beat into 25 knot winds.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Routes From Georgia to Puerto Rico

Courtney, Rule is to stay North of 25 (till the butter melts), then turn right on “route 65”. Because of the set of the Gulf Stream to the North you can generally add 10 degrees of Southing.. Xmas winds (westerly) generally are below below 25 and as low as 19-23 degrees lat. Bermuda is too far North, but enjoyable. Bottom line-a nice sail. Ric Gottschalk Bali Hai SN 24 Annapolis

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Routes From Georgia to Puerto Rico

Hi Courtney, I've done exactly that route once about 10 years ago while helping to deliver a friends 44' Cat. It will not be a pleasant trip, as the wind tends to be on your nose the whole way. If you are really committed to this route, I suggest you read Bruce Van Sant's book "The Gentleman's Guide to Passages South" to help with a strategy to ease the pain a bit. I'd suggest you take an easy trip up to the Chesapeake in the fall, and possibly join the Salty Dawg rally from Hampton to the BVI around Nov 1st. This is a much easier trip, and if you want to head to PR, just adjust your course a few degrees at the end. We did exactly that, and completed the trip in 9 days. The Salty Dawgs offer free weather routing from Chris Parker, some great seminars, and even better parties. You also can't beat the price, as it is free, or something like $250 if you join the Salty Dawgs, and for that, they offer enough negotiated discounts to more than reimburse you. Most years they have 80+ boats heading down. Best of luck on your trip south. Steve Davis Aloha SM72 Aruba
