My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

share experienceseek adventureface challengesgain experiencetravel

I Love Sailing.
If you need an extra pair of hands/eyes or can offer a place on board your vessel to someone who is not afraid to get their hands dirty and pitch in, please get in touch.

Loved sailing as a young man & sailed in the Atlantic - Canary Islands then later in the Caribbean around Mexico, Cuba, Belize etc.
I did the "career thing", for a few years & spent time piloting a desk but missed the sea. I now find myself in a position with time to do more sailing and improve my abilities and knowledge once again. I take instruction very well and do not get sick. I am healthy and able.
Plenty of long distance and night sailing undertaken and enjoyed.
I love the joy of sailing and the sense of freedom that it brings, (something that is so difficult to find in the modern world).

In the last 10 years, I spent 3 months sailing in the Dodecanese islands of Greece (2012).
Then spent 6 months crossing the S Pacific, (Panama to NZ) in 2013, which was a wonderful experience.
In May 2014 I joined up with friends to sail from Northern Italy to Greece along the coasts of Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro.
In Corfu later the same year, I joined NZ 28 meter super-yacht to sail around islands in Greece & then back across the Med via Crete & Sicily to Barcelona, an excellent journey, completed in September 2014.
(May 2015) Sailed for 6 weeks around Greek Islands on a Halberg Rassy 54. Excellent trip.
(July 2015) Joined 98' yacht in St Maarten, sailed BVIs & across Caribbean. Through Panama Canal & up the beautiful coast of Costa Rica. Then went to Australia & New Zealand cruising in Dec 2015.
Delivered Moody to Portugal from UK in May 2016. Took Beneteau from Brittany around Portugal/Spain in June. Sailed Gran Soleil 46 along Croatian coast in July/August & then HR along Turkish coast for the months of Sept/Oct 2016.
Sailed around Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia & Indonesia in 2017.
Crewed in Mediterranean for 5 months in summer 2018 & again in 2019.
Didn't get to do too much in 2020 but raring to go now.
I am truly happy to go anywhere.
Get in touch.

If you would like to contact me for more details please email me. We can then Skype if you wish.
Thank you
Bryn
