| I am a late comer to sailing. 2021 I did a RYA Competent Crew course, joined a yacht club and spent every weekend April-May 2022 as crew on yacht club cruises around the Solent. June I sailed on Typhoon Westerley from the UK to the Azores via the Isles of Scilly as part of a crew of 3, some fabulous bits, some scary bits.. I want to build up sailing skills and experience. I can cook, and follow orders and love learning. I enjoy the sea it refreshes my soul, big open spaces, sunsets and sunrises over the sea, going to new places, meeting new people, trying new foods, going over the horizon.. | |
