I have been sailing for a few years now. Well since 2010 actually. How time flies. I am an England slowly sailing around the world and currently in French Polynesia. Sometimes life solo can be difficult for sure but nothing worth doing comes easy. It would great meet a partner and sailing buddy to share the journey and life with so on that note I am open to the potential of a relationship but I am actually in need of crew for mid November.

I am a long term cruising sailor currently in Tahiti looking for someone to join in Marquasas islands. My plan is to stay in French Polynoesia and explore the Marquasa or Gambier islands during cyclone season. The Marquasas islands have incredible beauty and culture to explore off the usual beaten track of the society islands Before the 12th of May 2025 I will check out of Tahiti and begin my passage to Fiji visiting Tonga and other islands on passage. This will be a leisurely sail taking advantage of available weather windows. I plan to remain in the Fiji until the following October when I will depart for New Zealand or Australia.

I am seeking one or two additional crew members who are reliable, adaptable, and passionate about sailing. Previous sailing experience is preferred, but not essential – as long as you’re eager to learn and willing to lend a hand, we’d love to have you on board. Good physical fitness and a positive attitude are also important qualities for a successful voyage.
