Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Looking to sign on as crew with a group of fun, knowledgeable, and adventurous sailors. I have a long list of coastal cruising experience in the Gulf of Mexico, Bahamas, Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Australia. Can get to and from just about anywhere in the world on short notice with my worldwide flight benefits. I am healthy and fit. Retired with no time or location limitations and financially able to contribute towards daily expenses.

Would like to spend free time, fishing, snorkeling, hiking, visiting historical sites ashore, getting routine exercise, and checking out local surfing spots.

Able sailor with long distance offshore racing and cruising experience
Non-smoking, no drugs, no criminal history
Financially able to travel to/from boat (I have unlimited worldwide flight benefits)
Prefer to speak with captain on the phone or in person prior to departure. (If possible)

Previous Findacrew trips to Greece, Croatia, and Australia.

Grew up cruising and offshore racing with family aboard:
Islander 37
Gulfstar 50
Irwin 54

Sailboats owned:
J/24
Capri 25
S2 7.9 (26’)

Currently racing on:
J/30

Power boats owned:
Cabo 35 (fishing 200 miles offshore)
Contender 31 (fishing 150 miles offshore)
many others…
