Carins Australia to Bali and a few other trips . So I am looking for a new adventure of sailing across the pacific. I won’t need to stay on after the trip just thought I would go on a sail about alittle refresher in life . I would love to dive the Tuamotus other then that just looking for another experience. I have more references then you would ever need . Great with kids , I have taught many to swim and surf and I would be happy to give you references on this so you can rest assured.
