| Nationality: | United States |
| Currently based in: | , United States |
| Looking for: | Worldwide opportunities |
| Experience: | 25000 ocean miles / 40000 coastal miles |
| We are David & Samantha, a married couple on an open ended cruise on our Atlantic 57 catamaran. David has a lengthy sailing background with over 70,000 miles at sea, Sammi has sailed 25,000+ miles too. From time to time we will look for crew to make offshore passages with us, and perhaps enjoy some cruising at the destination. What we're looking for: No Smoking. Really, No Smoking - not on the boat, not in the dinghy, not onshore, not ever. No Smoking. Beyond that - easy going people with a love of the sea, a sense of humor, some sailing experience, and good physical fitness. We don't take people on their first offshore trip, you'll need one of those already, and a letter of recommendation from that trip. There is no drinking alcohol while underway. We pay for all expenses on the boat, and we live family style with our crew - means everybody pitches in for everything, meals, sailing, preparation, clean up, maintenance, the whole program. | |
