| New Zealander. Ex-University Lecturer in Sport and business owner (aviation/marketing/property). I have started my ‘never-ending gap year’. I simply want to sail from now on with good people. Have fun, make memories and enjoy the see and meeting new people. I’m a proud mother of 2 grown daughters. I am easygoing, positive, proactive, reliable, trustworthy, always with integrity. I am a team player, solutions focused, confident, considerate, nice and overall a good and kind person. I like to get out and give it a go. I’m financially able to fly to and from the boat. I follow instructions well, have cooked in 67-knot cyclone. I am fine doing watches on my own. I do not do drugs nor want to be on a boat where drugs are consumed. I am healthy and I do not drink much.
