Dear Shipmates
Introduction
HI,
I'm a professional delivery captain with over 115,000 miles experience including seven ocean crossings.. I'm looking for a sailing companion that would be interested in sharing sailing in beautiful places. I'm easy to get along with and am an excellent and patient teacher, and I don't yell! I've sailed to 46 countries and or their territories so far and there's so much more to see.
Enjoy scuba diving or snorkeling as well and plan on doing as much as possible.
To me, "Sailing isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more important than that"!
About the boat, the plans, and current crew
usually cleancomfortablevery safeshare experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamlive off the grid
The boat is my personal boat and is a Pearson 40 sloop equipped to go anywhere. Retired and going cruising. Heading to the Caribbean then on to Europe. Your input as to where to go is most welcome.

I'd like it if you can stand watches, help keep up the log book, trim the sails, cook, and help me keep the boat shipshape. If there's something you don't know and would like to learn I can teach you. This is a shared expense voyage, .
