Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I absolutely love the cruising life—exploring new places at a relaxed pace and connecting with people who share a passion for the sea, nature, and sailing. After spending seven years in the Pacific, I’ve shifted my adventures to the Caribbean, with plans to explore Panama’s stunning San Blas islands, Bocas, and further north to Belize, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, all depending on the weather.
In second half of december my 8yr old daughter will join, so crew is dxpected to assist with childcare.

Onboard, I prioritise a healthy lifestyle—starting the day with morning stretches and exercises, and enjoying a vegetarian/vegan diet with fresh, local ingredients. I love cooking, especially Mediterranean cuisine with plenty of vegetables, and always aim to create a balanced, nourishing environment. I also enjoy deep conversations, music, and the peaceful rhythm of life at sea. I’m learning new languages to better understand the cultures I encounter along the way.

I cover all boat expenses, and the crew contributes towards food, but that’s flexible based on your skills and assignment. If you’re passionate about sailing, adventure, and a healthy way of living, I’d love to hear from you!

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleancomfortableluxuriousvery safevery spaciousshare experiencevisit remote placeslearn a languagefind a soulmate/partnermulticultural

The boat is in great condition and fully equipped for comfort, including hydraulic furlers, electric winches, freezer, fridge, watermaker, dishwasher, washing machine, air conditioning/heating, satellite phone, HF radio, GPS, and Starlink for internet. Safety is a top priority, with personal safety equipment and a PLB for each crew member. We also take advantage of opportunities to fish and dive, with a diving compressor on board. Additionally, we have bicycles, paddleboards, and more for when we explore ashore.

What is expected of the crew

clean & tidyfit & healthyfriendlyrespectfulskilledtrustworthypoliteopen mindeddon't mind cleaning

The crew will be expected to participate in the regular daily routines, including sailing from Panama, with a planned crossing north/east in spring 2024.
Crew members should be responsible, it is advantage to be competent in boat handling, have sailing experience, and bring a good personality with an open-minded attitude.”
