This is a joint application with my wife Linda for Crew as a married couple. We are a fit and active couple in our 50's who sold our business and took early retirement. Although we took up sailing together later in life, we hit the ground running with our own 34 foot boat and sailed that around the South coast and across the channel for 3 seasons, before upgrading to a 43 footer, which we have sailed for two seasons, crossing Biscay in 2022 and exploring the Spanish Rias and returning along the West coast of France. In 2023 we may circumnavigate the UK or head South across the channel again, depending upon the timely arrival of our second grandchild! We are looking for an opportunity to build ocean miles with on Atlantic crossing in 23/24 with a view to repeating the experience in our own boat We are a very sociable couple, easy to get on with, well groomed, clean and tidy. I am an Engineer by profession, so am really into the technology and equipment on board and Linda is a retired Health professional an excellent cook! https://www.instagram.com/sailing_titian_blue/
