Guest Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 http://www.evohe.com/index.html Has anyone sailed on Evohe with Stephen? If so what was your experience like? Would you go again? I am considering doing a voyage on Evohe. Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites
cam 0 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 sorry elp. not me. But thanks for the link to appreciate their flying tender. http://www.evohe.com/flying.html Have just found the ideal support boat. We can even attack jetskis from the air, they would never see us coming if we fly out of the sun, dropping our sulfuric-acid-mixed-with-horseshit bombs and fly off over the horizon. Could also double as a nice sensible understated opti-parent support boat. Buzzing around decapitating other opti-parents in their support boats. Apologies for lowering the tone of your thread. Hope someone else can help. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 the flying boat looks pretty sweet, great idea. I can think of many uses for such a toy, hopefully I get to fly it! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rocket Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Umm a flying dinghy - right..... Yep certainly on my bucket list to have one of them. Maybe Alan Gibbs could stick the wings on one of his beasts and we would have a flying car boat - endless possibilities then! Link to post Share on other sites
cam 0 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 granted, a flying dinghy is what it is, and is probably not for everyone, for instance it is probably not for sane people. I quite like the idea myself. I am sort of used to being 'the twat in that weird boat'. Altho you would definitely be persona non grata in a lovely quiet anchorage, starting up the rotax engine and buzzing around of an evening. jetski hunting would be the only justification.

Guest Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 There's a couple of flying dingys sitting in Albany. Getting bigger wings fitted so they can take 2 bodies. Link to post Share on other sites
NevP 0 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hi elp I'd say go for it. What's the trip you're thinking of joining? I joined a voyage down to the Auckland Islands on Evohe back in 2007 for work. Steve came across as a really genuine approachable guy and competent skipper. My sailing experience at the time was fairly minimal so my assessment of seamanship was probably not particularly informed but Steve & crew definitely inspired confidence. The wind wasn't particularly cooperative for us so was mostly motoring or motor-sailing as it was work and we had a schedule to keep. The atmosphere and food on board was great and I would jump at the chance to do it again given the opportunity. I was on the trip to do some GPS surveying for a couple of days on Auckland Island. Was basically tagging along on a charter by DoC to deliver a bunch of scientists who were staying down there for about 3 months to study the sea lions. Don't know that I'd want to spend 3 months there but the Auckland Islands is definitely a stunning place to visit. Some of the stories of shipwrecks & early attempts to settle down there really hit home when you see how rugged the place is. We didn't have an excuse to try out the flying dinghy on that trip but sure looks like a blast. Not sure if I have much else to add, but feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Guest Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hi Nev P Thanks for replying. I have been emailing Stephen and he comes across as how you describe him which is great! I figure he wouldn't still be getting work if he had a bad reputation but thought I would ask on here just in case. I have applied to go on a voyage from San Diego California mid January2012 bound for Baja, Cocos Island, Galapagos, Marquesas, Tahiti, Cooks Islands, Samoa,Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu and on to Honiara in the Solomon Islands for the South Pacific Arts Festival inAugust 2012. Evohe will be support vessel for 7 vakas, see http://www.pacificvoyagers.org/. I would love to visit the sub-Antarctic islands one day, being inspired by Gerry Clarke.

HBC 0 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Hi, I found your post on Google when searching Stephen Kafka also interested to know what he would be like to work with as I have also applied for the position as a volunteer on Evohe as there are 4 positions I'm hoping I will get one but have yet to hear back not sure if they have been filled yet as I only came across the advertisement last week. Have you heard if you have got the job? I think it would be a challenge but a once in a life time adventure! Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
