Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I have been living aboard the year before departure and sailing for over 6 years now. I set sail from Amsterdam in September 2017 and have worked my way west.

On board I feel at home, I love cooking healthy food, a Sundowner, socializing. Hiking/biking, walking around uninhabited Atolls. Beside living above water I love the underwater paradise (snorkeling/diving). An active outdoor life is energy for body and mind.
I have lots of sailing experience earlier on as well.

After 3 years in Polynesia it's time to explorer new horizons and slowly say goodbye to these friendly people. Bound westward through the Pacific into Indonesia, Singapore.

In Malaysia, Pangkor marina on the hard and all the well known maintenance.
From there slowly but surely preparing for the trip to the Mediterranean Sea.

ITINERARY;

The trip will start from Greece in July 2024 but it is desirable and necessary to be on board earlier when available.
We will be with probably 3 people on the boat. Target is to be in the Netherlands by the end of the year.

Want to join me? you are enthusiastic, eager to learn, adventurous, love the sea voyages and would like to sail from SE Asia to the Med.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

The boat is very comfortable, safe - with all required safety gear and communications aboard, and well maintained. I can (and do) fix most things myself. I recently added a water maker and a dive compressor aboard shortly, so EXSTRA points if you like to dive!

I am looking for a good sailing companion first and foremost. If there’s chemistry, I'm open for friendship.
Please be easy going, able/willing to cook and clean (though I will as well), and can contribute some to what it takes financially to run/maintain a yacht.

You don’t need to have a lot of experience, but you do need to know that you are sea worthy (not prone to sea sickness) and know what living aboard a boat is about. If this sounds like you, you are enthusiastic, eager to learn, adventurous, and love the sea and love to sail beyond the horizon, please contact me!
