Dear Shipmates
Introduction
After a 25 yr marriage, a widower, empty nester looking for someone to have adventure with... Family house was sold and I am I'm doing the "live-aboard" thing - on a 2018, 45' Antares catamaran yacht in Annapolis.
Plan is to then sail around the world... but it will start by cruising down to the Keys and Caribbean first....working as a charter captain or divemaster for beer money and to meet other people. I'm looking for pleasant, energized, funny, athletic, intelligent, balanced, and adventurous person to compliment my skillset and keep me company. Though I selected "May consider romance," this is not high on my list. It's more to experience life, see something new, have fun... just you never know. I'd just take some time as friends/buddies before that would happen.
Currently posting to see if there is any interest in my plans
What experience I have:
USCG 50 Ton master Captain w/ sailing endourcment
ASA104: Spent a few years singlehanded 35' Hunter in the Annapolis, Maryland SailTime Fractional Ownership program.
PADI Dive-master: Late wife was an instructor...lost track of all the places we dove.
Former Surf Rescue (Beach Patrol): VERY comfortable around water
Very mechanically inclined: Biomedical Engineer, designed and built house, rebuilt many car engines. Hardest part of this lifestyle change is storing and getting rid of some of my tools
