| My Wife and i are living abound our Outremer 55 Catamaran. We are doing a circumnavigation, which started in France and we are now in the Marquises Islands. We are part of the GLYWO500 rally with 25 other yachts. We are looking for crew (preferably a couple) to help us sail on from Tahiti to Fiji and then on to New Zealand. We will leave Tahiti around the end on June and get to New Zealand in October. Tracey and i can sail the yacht on our own however it is a lot easier with a couple more crew that can do indevedual watches at night as well as help out with all the daily tasks that come with lifting full time on a yacht. | |
