Dear fellow sailors! I've just completed my first offshore passage, with an experienced captain, a 1000+ nm passage from the Seychelles to Tanzania and it was quite the adventure. First time - and not to be repeated for a while - I experienced 30' swells, 30 knot gusts and a generally challenging passage. But it was a great learning experience and a chance to get comfortable with my 48' Leopard cat which handled everything better than I and my crew! And what a beautiful sight it was, sailing into Dar es Salaam on a sunny day and light breeze. I'm hoping to find someone to complement my skills, for shorter trips, around the East coast of Africa, Zanzibar, Comoros, Madagascar, and eventually to Cape Town. Hoping to be able to circumnavigate, if the circumstances are right. I enjoy freediving and spearfishing, exploring historic and interesting places, and hard physical challenges.

The boat is maintained by a full time employee while in Dar es Salaam and is in top condition, generally ready to sail on short notice. When I am aboard, generally three months at a time, I work remotely using Starlink for high speed internet access. The vessel also has all the conveniences like watermaker, airconditioning, hot water, refrigerators, etc. I'm currently awaiting the replacement washer and dryer, and 2200w of solar panels with an ETA of early June. Very comfortable nonetheless.

I plan to do a few short cruises in Tanzania to become more confident with the boat and to continue to explore East Africa. Plans for now may include sailing around East Africa, Mayotte, Comoros, Madagascar. Considering the situation in the Red Sea, I would consider rounding the cape and eventuallly heading up the West Coast of Africa towards the Med.
I am a lifelong powerboater, I'm very comfortable on the ocean, navigating, diving and spearfishing, but I'm discovering that Bluewater sailing is a completely different thing. I welcome beginners as well as experienced crew . . . if you're new to sailing, we'll learn together.
