Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi,

Bob and I keep our Moody yacht on the south coast of England where we sail extensively when we are not sailing independently or together overseas. Sailing is our main passion and now we’re both retired we can be flexible on timescales.
Jan-Feb 2023 crewed on a Lagoon 445 to Grenada from La Gomera. My first Atlantic crossing, Bob’s sixth. We island hopped by ferry through the Grenadines then rejoined the Cat to help sail her to St Lucia. We’re very keen to explore more of the Caribbean so please get in touch if you need a hand, or preferably two!

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I really enjoy learning from the people I sail with and have made firm friendships with FAC members. I enjoy contributing towards a happy and harmonious crew.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

share experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamface challengesgain experiencelearn to saillive off the gridtravel

In 2015 I received a life changing diagnosis which left me unable to pursue my other passions of hiking and skiing. Fortunately it doesn't impact on my ability above or below decks on board a boat or tender and I am determined to travel, explore and meet many more interesting people. The diagnosis enabled me to stop working (although I loved my job) so now I am free to explore whatever opportunities life throws at me - and over the last couple of years I've had some great ones - I'm looking forward to sharing yours!
