I love to live at sea; in the lee of an island, reef or a secluded bay. I do not want to be in a marina or port except to re-provision the boat; before again putting to sea. While out and about my pass-times are best at the outer reef - spear fishing, scuba, snorkling or skiing.
I do not wish to hot-swap a bunk and require my own cabin.

commercially I am interested in nursing & watch-keeping duties.

I have enjoyed writing technical books on Fleet racing, Teams racing and Match racing and am thinking of developing a cruising book too; detailing the intricacies of enjoying the remotest outer reefs. Going back to the hard edge of the Australian Great Barrier Reef would be a dream come true.

It is quite an effort for us to meet up so ask me anything and let make this fun.

I love going to the uncharted outer reefs, often carrying another intrepid yachties mud map with a couple of GPS coordinates to approximate a narrow entry into a key. At the reef I love to spear fish and try to get 1-2 swims in a day using snorkel.

I tick the box for a special diet. To me this consists of the most pristine food I can lay my hands on. Fish caught and consumed on the same day. Salad purchased as organic certified, low residue, low pesticide. I knead dough, sprout seeds, grow kefir, bottle ginger-beer. I haven’t had junk food for years. If i am too different from you, we will end up with fridge space issues.

I practice meditation & yoga. Think of a hippy, but with more practical components – and this comes close to me. I go to work for blocks of time (7-28 days)- totalling between 60-100 days per year and live onshore (hospitals) or on offshore installations (oil rigs) during these periods.
