Dear Shipmates
Introduction
I am a 66 year-old philosophy professor, happily married with one adult daughter. I am responsible, respectful and kind, interested in a whole bunch of stuff, get on well with people of all ages, socially conscious, LGBTQIA accepting, physically active and in good health.
I have travelled extensively and have some sailing experience. One of my goals is to sail across an ocean by the time that I am 73 so I am seeking to gain more sailing experience. I am looking for a position that involves real sailing and the crew is actively involved in sailing the boat. I am happy to pay/contribute to expenses.
