Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hi, Im looking for crew who wants to be apart of the whole livaboard , sailing life.
I am presently living on the boat in Airlie Beach , looking to explore the Whitsundays, while I top up the kitty and do required maintenance.
If you are looking for an adventure or just an escape from normal life, then there is no better than being on the water. Sailing where ever takes our fancy.
Boat is presently between Airlie Beach and Mackay while i do a little work , so doesn’t get much better .
The boat is well equiped and ready to take us there safely.
Prefer someone who is fun, willing to put in and share the whole experience and adventure.
This is a fantastic opportunity for the right person, so jump in now, message me, and we can follow our dreams from there.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Darren
There is loads of fun and adventure to be had for the right person.
Let's get out there!

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

The boat is a sailing Catamaran , Very safe and well maintained by myself .
I am capable of most repairs and maintenance. Comfortable and a good sailing vessel
What is expected of the crew
clean & tidycommittedeasy-goingenthusiasticfit & healthyfriendlyorganisedrespectfultrustworthyconfident swimmerrarely/unlikely seasickgood communicatoreager to learn & workpositive outlooksense of humorcan pay own expensesenjoy cookingdon't mind cleaning
Experience is not esential , but a willing to learn is.
Someone who is clean and respectful of the boat is a must.
Our safety is up to us.
Initially I will be sailing up the East Coast Qld, GBR, then across and into The Kimberley and hopefully up into Indonesia.
You can see this is a fairly big commitment, so get in now, even if just on short trips to learn the boat first, get to know each other and also help with prep!
I am happy to pass on any knowledge I have and also willing to learn if you feel you have something to offer which is quite possible . So lets get out there and have some fun.
