Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hi there, I’m looking for a boat for the next leg of my adventure from Tahiti to a new destination. I will arrive in Tahiti mid July, ideally to stick around for a while before moving on, but I’m still not sure about the exact timing and plans. I am from the Netherlands originally, semi-experienced sailing traveler (5500nm), open-minded and easy going. Having left the Netherlands last November, I started working as first mate / cook on a charter boat in San Blas (Panama), and left one month ago to cross the Pacific (recreational). Having sailed in my earlier years, I felt drawn to life aboard again, which, so far has been an amazing experience! I want to keep going now, learn and explore more, hopefully together with you.
If you’re interested, or have useful connections / tips, drop me a message on WhatsApp. Hope to meet soon!
P.S. I consider myself to be good with kids, so defo open to families.
P.P.S Open to fly out for the right opportunity
