| I’m a very young 56 and now retired. I have been around boats my entire life and recently bought a 50’ Bénéteau in hopes to do some charter this year. I race a 5.7 meter catamaran, I was a scuba instructor for 3 years in Bermuda. I water ski everyday in season and I’m also a commercially rated Pilot. I’m looking for a female crew member/ partner to sail and explore the Caribbean picking up some charterwork along the way Just looking for the next adventure. ;) sun fun sail I am open to romance but it is not required. Need to become friends first. If it happens it happens. If not I’m fine with just making a new friend.:) | |
