My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

have a holidayshare experienceshare charter costsvisit remote placesseek adventureface challengestravel

mainly looking for adventure and chance to sail in areas where I have not previously sailed. I have traveled extensively, mainly associated with my job with the cruise ship line. I am a "young" 77 years old, physically fit. Raced in the past, Chesapeake Bay, San Diego, Monterey. J world racing course in Newport. Going to Croatia in late May 2024 to sail from Split to Dubrovnik and then to Sicily.
