Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hello, I am Australian and been sailing for 50 plus years, I have owned and cruised sailing yachts in Australia, United States, Asia, Europe and the Caribbean. Can assist anyone who wishes to improve their qualifications and expertise.
My wife and I purchased a Jeaneau 53 in 2022 and looking for open minded females and couples who would join and cruise the Greek Ionian 2025 summer for a week or more if it works. Some sailing in the hot weather and warm waters - treat it as a holiday. May have passage but undecided at this point.
Some sailing/cruising experience is required.
Share of food costs only, cleaning and cooking are expected.

We are cruising the Ionian Sea next summer departing Preveza or Corfu mid late May and returning to same location late September. The Boat is a Jeaneau 53, it is very comfortable and spacious with the latest navigational systems, and set up for short handed cruising.
