| Hello I am an experienced, calm skipper who has a Moody 376 that is well fitted and ready to sail through the Suez, Red Sea and down the coast of Africa to then make passage back to Australia. Due to Covid we all know how challenging it has been for sailors around the world and this passage that has been planned has been done so with attention paid to safety, equipment, supplies and having the right crew. My boat is very sea worthy of this trip and as an Australian I am looking forward to returning home to Australia all I need now is the right crew member. I am presently in Marmaris on the anchor. | |
