Just an easy going retired guy that had his own boat for years and wants to selectively join opportunities of interest to keep enjoying the sea and the adventure. I am apparently getting older on paper, but believe me, the mindset has not changed for decades. Only the mirror reminds me from time to time that I cannot avoid nature.

I have many activities and keep fairly busy. My wife no longer interested in long cruises in Aegean so we sold our Oceanis 40 after 9 years. Was also member of group using an Amel Sharki 39 out of Lisbon for coastal travel but too many Orcas and members for me, and river sailing is not my thing.
Doing Atlantic crossing Dec24/Jan25, then rejoining a friend in Sardinia to relocate his boat to Greece throughout April 25.
Could be available for another Atlantic crossing from December 25 and/or the Pacific from early 26.
Not interested in Working or Paid passages, happy to share expenses, tasks and watches.
No medical or financial problems.

May and June are when many owners/skippers relocate their boats for the summer when and where the family will join them. This is what I like doing best, conveying boats, helping out, being useful and being able to contribute. Also a most pleasant time for sailing, before the crowds come out, when berths and anchorages are available, the weather not too warm yet, little or no rain but usually enough wind. Ideal for learning more, gaining experience, discovering new places, boats and people. I miss skippering my own boat but happy not to have the full responsibility either. Enjoy night watches and good company.
