My aim is to explore the Mediterranean coast this spring, right through summer, cruising with a skilful and relaxed skipper, finding quiet, isolated locations, and having new adventures.

Technically, I am mile building, planning to cross the Pacific (returning to Australia) in 2026. My only plan between April and the end of August is I would like 2-3 weeks in Spain in May (walking Camino Santiago with a Kiwi friend). Otherwise I hope to stay with one boat all summer if possible.

My ideal trip would be to sail West, from Greece or Turkey, to the Atlantic coast of France. However I am open to any destinations and adventures, just cruising around Greece and Turkey would be amazing.

I've crewed in the Caribbean, for an American couple I met in Venezuela. I took care of their boat on the hard, when they returned we anti-fouled, made repairs and set sail for 3 weeks. I also crewed around the Isle of White, competed in Cowes Week, and crossed the English Channel to Honfleur and back. I am a good cook (quick and nutritous meals), neat and organised, good at following orders, bright and alert, and able to think for myself if given rope. I learn fast, having once been a lawyer in Australia, Singapore and the UK. No one needs a lawyer on board, right? That was 15 years ago, and I have not looked back at the corporate world with more than a glance since.

I currently live in a camper in Australia, work online, keep fit and flexible by hiking, climbing and ocean swimming. I am 57, been meditating and doing yoga for 15 years, and love things of beauty: right now I am rebuilding the alternator on my 30-year old imported 4WD van in Tasmania. I have plenty of energy that I channel into keeping busy, I volunteer and travel most of the year, when not spending time with my adult kids and ex-wife in Australia (my base country).

I'd love to work with a younger captain and crew, if possible, but I appreciate the wisdom and company of old souls too.

Fair winds,
Tom
