Greetings :) My British partner and I are looking for a boat that needs either a skipper, crew for passages or sailing instructors for voluntary work. We are hoping to find a boat for an adventure for our dream travel. We are embarking on our adventure-of-a-lifetime and hope to travel/sail for a season or a year. I am a TYF (Turkish Sailing Federation) Qualified Sailing Instructor and World Sailing Level 3 Coach. My partner is a qualified RYA Dinghy instructor and a Secondary School/High School Spanish Teacher by profession. Between us we have over 20 years of sailing experience. We've quit our jobs and our dream is to go travel the world together, with a view from the deck! :) We are an easy going couple. We arrived to Las Palmas from England by sailing boat on 20 th October 2019, that was 2.000 nautical miles. But we are searching another boat for Atlantic Crossing. We would like to join your Atlantic Crossing and help everything on the boat. Also we are recording our dream journey for our families and friends. For more information about us please check our web site and youtube. Web : www.hopesodyssey.com Youtube : Hope's Odyssey Looking forward to meeting you... Happy Sailing. Harun and Anna
