[ closed ] Netherlands to Portugal, Gulf of Biskay crossing Netherlands to Portugal ref 11667
From Bruinisse, Netherlands to Portimao, Portugal.
October 2019 to November 2019.
Sailing from Bruinisse Netherlands to South Coast of Portugal. First along south coast of England to Falmouth (in daytrips, unless otherwise decided with crew) then cross the Gulf of Biscay to NW Spain and along Atlantic Coast of Spain and Portugal to the South (again primarily in daytrips). Departure 1st of October from Bruinisse to Falmouth. From Falmouth the Gulf of Biscay crossing 2nd half of October or 1st half of November.All depending on weather/progress. I can sail solo along the coast, but could use 1 or 2 crew, and definitely need 1 or 2 crew for the crossing of the Gulf of Biscay (appr. 4 days crossing). Crew is welcome for parts or the whole of the trip. As planning is dependent on the weather (which is unpredictable) the crew must be flexible in time and place. Furthermore sailing experience at sea is necessary. Something about myself: 60 years young, happily married (but my wife does not enjoy sailing the way I do), enthousiastic sailor for 45 years on Northsea, English Channel,Atlantic Coast of France, RYA commercially endorsed Yachtmaster Offshore. Want to explore spanish and portuguese coast and sailing back to Holland in spring next year.
