Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi sailors,
With a passion for the ocean and sailing I would love to meet soulmates who I can share this with. Having covered 3/4 circumnav as a crew member, I still can't get enough of the water.

After falling in love with the oceans some 25 years ago, I set sail from Australia crewing on different boats (small to maxi yachts), taking part in several races to eventually sail all the way to France.
My hunger for more sailing took me across the Atlantic from Palma to Barbados.
My dream was to circumnavigate, but I fell in love, married and had 2 wonderful children.
All along I have been working as a travel writer for newspapers, magazines and TV and still spent time on the ocean during holidays.

Now I am single again, have more time on my hands. Just finished my RYA yachtmastertheory and coastal practical in Hamble UK. Have been sailing in the Med since and just sailed the Pacific Fiji-Vanuatu and passage Fiji-New Zealand.

I can't get enough of being on the water and therefor always look for boats to get more experienced.
Would love to spend as much time as possible on the water. Plenty of time on my hand

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

People say I am a very sociable and open person. I think I can call myself quite intelligent. My hobbies are: sailing of course, swimming, diving, ski, yoga, pilates, reading, seeing friends. With lots of time on my hands my intention is to sharpen my sailing skills and maybe live on a boat for a while.

I am fun, classy, sporty, adventurous, open-minded, respectful, .... I love exploring the area and meet its people (hence my freelance job as a travel writer). I am quite active, like to take initiative but am easy to go along too. I like interesting conversations, but I also love peace and quiet. I appreciate good food and wine.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

have a holidayshare experiencevisit remote placesfind a soulmate/partnertravel

I love being on the water and even if I have quite some sailing experience, I still am eager to get better. I would like find someone to share my passion for sailing and the ocean.

With lots of time on my hands, I would love to spend more time on the water and share my passion for exploring and sailing.I already have thousands of sea miles in my legs, recently did my official RYA Day Skipper course... I am very eager to learn even more: sail setting, navigation, maintenance...
