Recently retired rediscovered the joy of sailing. I love nature,people, music and art. My dream used to be to circumnavigate the world on my own yacht, but now I would be happy to do shorter passages as a crew member. Five years ago I did a seven days passage from Columbia to Cuba, delivered a boat from Athens to Trieste. Four years ago I did a three months puddle crossing from Panama to Tahiti, and then Antigua to France on a Halberg Russy 42. Two years ago I bought a catamaran 2011 Leopard 46 , outfitted it and sailed the Mediterranean for a short time. Then unfortunately I had to sell it. Now we’ve settled down in Costa Tropical in Spain. I would love to crew on nice and safe sailboats from time to time. I am reliable, good natured, fit and love to meet new people. | |
