I am looking for a crew position to sail from the Caribbean into the South Pacific in early 2024, ideally all the way to New Zealand or Australia. I have some sailing experience - Atlantic crossing (Martinique to Gibraltar), Caribbean (Trinidad to Guadeloupe), Panama Canal Transit (Shelter Bay to PC), and some North/Baltic Sea sailing. Since the Pacific journey is a long one, i would suggest to meet for a week of sailing together somewhere (Mediterranean, Canaries, Caribbean) before the actual Pacific crossing. I speak some French which might come in handy when having to negotiate the way out of a cannibals tribe ceremony in the Marquesas without having to donate a few toes. I like to have a drink with people but i don't need to. Food is not a religion for me, i eat more or less anything ;) I have a worldwide health insurance and can travel to and back from anywhere. I like doing sports - tennis, cycling, windsurfing. Happy to have a video call to introduce and chat. | |
