Dear Shipmates

Introduction

UPDATE; We decided not to sail on the 2024 season. May be in 2025… Good luck everybody... have a great sailing.
----------------------------------------
During 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 we sailed with beautiful crews. Although we mostly prefer couples, we sailed with nice single crews too. We hope this year 2023 will be the same. Our plan is continuously to sail from April till the end of November, as we have done before. This year we will be sailing to the Turkish coastline, Greek islands, and maybe Italy. We plan this as safely as possible for all of us. If you wish to sail with us, please send a message. Thanks to all the great friends we had from "Find a Crew".
ABOUT US;
I am a female doctor in medicine, an intensivist, and also a hospital manager. Erhan is a manager too. We are both 62 years old. We love sailing, sailing life, and underwater photography. We had decided to sail around the world and we got a boat in 2015. During the last 7 years; we have retired, moved to the boat, and tried to extend our sailing experience. We crossed the Atlantic from west to east with our friend's boat. We sailed the Black Sea. and nearly all Greek islands... Altogether we sailed 26000 miles in 7 years. Our boat is ready to sail for long journeys. One day We are still planning to sail all around the world, but we need to wait for this for now and decide to enjoy the MEDITERRANEAN SEA. We plan to have two additional crews. We prefer couples. With their help, the journey will be great for all of us. In this way all together we enjoy the journey and share the expenses. Just contact us if you are interested. This is a rough plan. Joining can be done during all or some legs of the journey. For further info,

Our boat was built for offshore sailing. She is very safe, comfortable and well-maintained boat with very well equipped. we love our boat. Last year we made a lot work on the boat to get ready for the long journey. . we are living in our boat and sailing/cruising as much as possible to develop our sailing skill. We are doing great now.. thank you for reading our profil.. hope to suit for you... best and safe sailing for all of us... have a great time... Sema

What is expected of the crew

clean & tidycommittedeasy-goingenthusiasticfriendlyorganisedrespectfultrustworthygood communicatortravel light (little luggage)eager to learn & workpoliteLGBTIQA+ orientedopen mindedsense of humorcan pay own expensesenjoy cookingdon't mind cleaninggood with maintenancecan follow orderswill not bring a petharmony

We had wonderful friends on those journeys. We are sure this year we will have some friends too. :) it's not an army job. We all do the work together... Cooking, washing dishes, sailing, night duties, cleaning... Especially with couples, we share the days in order. We prefer the crews who can long time stay with us... During the anchor time, we can visit the land too... Have more fun and safety together, and this means we or our crews will be at the boat so no need to left the boat alone. it will be rotating between us the crews... Other benefits to be 4 person we can have more time to enjoy for each of us... Sharing jobs and expences make life easier, doesn't it? best
