I am now completing a three month cruise in Mexico to the Sea of Cortez, having departed Puerto Vallarta area April 1, 2024 and will be returning by July 1. For the reminder of the summer I will be aboard in La Cruz Huanacaxtle, near Puerto Vallarta. During this time I will be completing boat projects and do a little sailing. My busy sailing season starts in November with racing and short local cruising. My next major cruise will start in April 2025.

I am a single and I live full time on my sailboat in Mexico. I cruise and race this boat and have for many years. I do not single-hand my boat. I hace a race crew but for cruising I need a crew member/sailing partner. This is not necessarily intended to be a romantic partner but could evolve into a relationship. While cruising We will visit ports, harbors, and islands in Mexico including the Sea of Cortez. While racing a new crew member will join my established crew. Novices are welcome but experienced sailors are also welcome. We will be sailing more than motoring.

The cruise this was divided into sections of 1-4 weeks (flexible). We had a lot f good sailing experienced lots of sun, beaches, swimming and socializing with other cruisers as well as exploring the towns and villages in the SEA of Cortez.

This is a racing boat converted to cruiser live aboard, the current crew is the owner/skipper but during racing we carry a crew of 10 very skilled sailors who have sailed together for years.

The boat is in Mexico. The opportunity is to participate in cruises in the Sea of Cortez or elsewhere in Mexico or in joining the racing crew, or in simply becoming a companion and partner to live aboard and participate in the maintenance and enjoyment of life on a sailboat. These are recreational opportunities, (not paid) positions. There will be some cost sharing (food and provisions).

You do not need experience (complete novice is OK but if you have sailing or boating experience that will also be welcome); there will be excellent learning opportunities and sailing miles and experience will accumulate. Your captain will be a good, and gentle, teacher,
You will share sailing and domestic responsibilities on board as a partner, and these will increase as you learn the boat, the sea, and become comfortable with the cruise.

I have cruised extensively, including previous cruises in the Sea of Cortez and world wide. I have circumnavigated on this boat, it is well equipped for cruising and racing. I am healthy. active, and competent and gentle.

I am healthy and fit, and work out regularly,. I am a safe and experienced sailor, having circumnavigated in this boat. I have been teaching sailing for 45 years, so novices are welcome. This is expected to be a fun and relaxing cruise but we will be sailing a lot.

This cruise now being completed involved visiting small Mexican ports in the Seat of Cortez, swimming snorkeling, walking on deserted beaches meeting other cruisers for social events and fun and lots of sailing,. The conditions in Mexico are sunny and with excellent sailing conditions. There will be empty anchorages, not crowds.

This position could be for a longer duration. After the Sea of Cortez cruise I will return to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and the boat will be based there for the summer. The right candidate for this position may wish to extend their stay into or through the summer.

Next winter we will again be racing full time. Further cruises in Mexico will follow.

This is a recreational, liveaboard position, not a pad position and travel costs to Puerto Vallarta are the responsibility of the crew. This is not meant to be a romantic opportunity.

During this cruise or for a liveaboard arrangement food costs and boat operational expenses may be shared. There are no other costs.
