Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi Shipmates, I’m a fit and healthy 66 yr old looking for exploration and wider sailing experience. I’ve completed 2.5 ocean crossings with Clipper and had several charters as skip and first mate, obtaining my RYA day and coastal skip tickets during Covid. I’m keen to do more sailing to broaden my experience on different boats and learning on the job with fellow shipmates.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

clean & tidycommitteddiligentdiscreeteasy-goingenthusiasticfit & healthyfriendlyorganisedrespectfultrustworthyrarely/unlikely seasickgood listenergood communicatorno body piercingsno facial piercingsno tattoos at allpositive outlookopen mindedgood with maintenancecan follow ordersbuy my own boat one day

I’m a retired forester and lover of trees and natures beauty on land and sea. I’m someone who is happy to be involved in all aspects of being on board, managing the boat from navigation and passage planning, night watch through to victualling , cleaning, cooking and repairs.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

share experienceseek adventuregain experiencelive off the gridtravel

Sailing allows me time to look and admire the natural beauty and power of the seas and oceans. Although late to sailing, I’m still eager to improve my sailing skills and confidence so I can one day have an adventure on my own boat🤞.
