Introduction
Update : Looking for a Boat
1) Departure from North Island, New Zealand local cruising in early November 2024
2) Departure from Sydney local cruising in mid November or early February 2025
Hello! I’m Polly, an experienced sailor and world traveler. 🌏
Since leaving my IT sales job and land-home in Hong Kong in January 2023, I’ve explored over 50 countries, including Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan, Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Canada, the US, French Polynesia, New Zealand, and various regions of Australia (TAS, SA, VIC, NSW), Singapore, and Indonesia. My sailing adventures have taken me over 2,500 nautical miles offshore, including a recent 1,000nm voyage from Tahiti to the Marquesas and 200nm cruising around Great Barrier Reef AU.
Here’s what I bring to the table:
Sailing Experience: Over 2,500nm offshore; rarely get seasick 💪
Night Watch: Reliable and experienced in night watch duties 🌙
Sail Handling: Skilled in assisting with sail direction and adjustments ⛵
Mooring: Good in mooring and anchoring ⚓
Diving Certifications: Freediver and scuba diver 🤿
Culinary Expertise: Health foods chef 😋
Wellness: Certified yoga teacher 🕉
Athletic Skills: Rock climber 🐒
Lifestyle: Non-smoker/non-drug user 🚭
Organization: Good at keeping things in order 💡
Personality: Positive, creative, fun and adventurous ✨️
Let’s sail together! ⛵️
