About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleancomfortableshare experiencevisit remote placesseek adventure

HISTORY OF MY YACHT: The yacht is a very comfortable 50ft ketch that has been fully refurbished with all new electrics, upholstery; refrigeration, computer nav. etc etc.To give you an idea of previous excursions... I spent many months of 05 and eight months of 06 sailing via several beautiful islands/sandy beaches and coral reefs to reach the whitsunday islands then on to port douglas returning to Tin can bay for yearly maintenance.After spending 05 and 06 coastal cruising it was time to venture o.s. In 07,After a great 6 months in the south pacific,learning new cultures and helping the people proved very rewarding! For these 3 years I enjoyed my own yacht. Then In 08 I was offered a job to skipper Alliance around the whitsunday islands for 6 months returning to Tin can bay for maintenance. In 09 I skippered Alliance again up the east coast spending the bulk of my time around the whitsundays again for a 5 month period.In 10, I took Alliance to Vanuatu and new caledonia for 6 months and am now back at Tin Can Bay for my yearly maintenance..2011 I took Alliance back to the south pacific for 6 months...looking forward to this year(2012) This year I will be taking MY OWN yacht.Update 19/3/2013 Had good trip to Thailand where I am currently cruising.May stay here this year?The boat has dive gear for 2 people.
UPDATE 23/7/2013 I left MY yacht on hardstand in Thailand and currently doing few wks work on another boat at tin can bay(OZ)... now I have been asked to deliver that boat to Darwin... Then I will fly straight from Darwin to Thailand(17th oct) to join my OWN yacht to cruise another year in Asia.
I love the relaxed cruising life,hiking.exploring,swimming,diving,snorkling,fishing,beautiful bays,sundowners,time with friends,music especially live bands,dancing,learning to play my new uke and anything fun!:)
I am fit,strong, practical and healthy,looking to make the best of my life:)
See above for more current info on boat location.

Cheers ..... George

What is expected of the crew

You would need the ability to be part of a team,be reasonably athletic (for the onshore touch footy or cricket games) have a sense of humour,to carry out deckhand duties,help with the cooking would be greatly appreciated,and have a love for life.Previous sailing experience and knowledge of basic boating could be handy.

Thanks for taking the time to view this profile......Cheers George
