Dear Shipmates

Introduction

My wife and I are retired University professors who love to travel and enjoy life. We live in Canmore, Alberta during the spring, fall, and early winter and in Prince Edward Island, Canada (east coast) during the summer. We like a bit of winter, but we also need to escape it and so we like to travel for at least three months from February to early May. I lived in PEI for over 50 years, and have sailed for over 40 years around PEI and the Maritime Provinces. Only myself will be joining a crew.

I have travelled to all seven of the continents, most recently cruising to Antarctica in March 2024. This fulfilled a dream I have had since I started travelling independently when I was 17. I have visited over 80 countries including much of North America (including the Caribbean), large parts of South America and Europe, Australia and New Zealand, parts of southern Africa, and much of SE Asia. I have been travelling independently since I was 17 and love the excitement and adventure of travel. I plan all these trips myself. I can travel for over three month with just one piece of carry-on luggage. I am open to any type of travel or adventure. I enjoy all types of food and especially spicy food. I love to cook and enjoy a glass (or two) of wine while doing so and, of course, during dinner. I exercise regularly and I am in very good shape. I love to walk, hike and ski through the mountains of Alberta, bike, swim, play basketball, and workout in the gym. I engage in some combination of these activities at least ten times each week. I require physical activity daily. On a boat, the fair sharing of duties is imperative. Keeping all areas clean and tidy is required and all those on board must share in completing necessary tasks. Since the end of the Covid travel restrictions, I have been travelling extensively. Sailing is a great way to explore multiple destinations during the same trip.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

have a holidayshare experienceshare charter costsvisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamface challengesgain experiencetravel

I have been sailing around my home province of PEI for over 40 years and as I am now retired I would like to branch out and sail in other parts of the world. I wish to gain more experience on larger boats and on longer trips. All types of trips of any length are of interest. I would especially welcome the opportunity to sail in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and/or cross the Atlantic or Pacific. I am open to all types of sailing adventures.
