Just me, I'm not bringing any crewmates

I am outgoing, artistic, confident, 5'10 tall, healthy. British ex-liveaboad cruiser on a Rival 41 for 25yrs including charter skipper in British Virgin Islands for 10 years. Have done 3 Atlantic crossings and Mediterranean to Sri Lanka and back. Have a house in Spain. Available for cruising any time as retired, Can handle a galley in bad weather without getting seasick! Stay calm in a crisis, seen my share of storms. Love to travel on land and sea, off the beaten track and meet other cultures.
