Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Polly (54)and I (68) love sailing and nautical activities, together we have many many years of sailing experience, crewing
on costal long distance cruises in the Europe ,Turkey,Caribbean, French Polynesia and Australia. We both have own a boat in the past. Polly is an Americain (who has also lived in Australia) and I am French Canadian. Over the years we both took formal training , more recently the Daily Sipper sailing course from RYA. In addition Polly is a qualified deckhand with experience in Australian boating industry. I am a retired diplomat who has plenty of time to live new experiences. So far we had two great experiences as a crew with Findacrew, 4 weeks in Turquey in 2019 and 3 weeks most recently in Belize .
