Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Clean living, well educated and well travelled retired professional. British by birth, Africanised by nature and the cold Benguela current. Drove a desk for years in concrete jungles but ex-yachting industry too - now looking to enjoy the places I saw from the boat by being the boat owner.

You should be open to exploring the coast we find and experiencing the cultures we encounter. You should love the sea and its bounty. There is always work on a boat so we’ll dedicate a few hours a day to normal yacht tasks. Most of all, you should be open to laughing, joking and having fun!
