| Looking for a female crew member to sail in New Zealand then to the Caribbean via the Indian Ocean, South Africa and Brazil. I will spend the cyclone season 2018/19 in New Zealand. Plan the Caribbean by Christmas 2019. I am a 59 year-old divorced male. I am extroverted, Intuitive, Assertive, and Love to Think. I guess I’m the ultimate devil’s advocate. But sometimes that will come off as being argumentative. I am a single parent and lived with my 2 teenage boys. I currently fly airplanes for a living! I was an infantry officer in the US Army, traveled extensively as an international mountaineering guide, ran for the US House of Representatives, been imprisoned for civil disobedience, been shot at, drank some beer and was present when the fat lady sung. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in philosophy and an MA in theology. I am an adventure junkie at heart. I love to travel, ski, camp, hike, mountain bike, Tae Kwon Do, mountain climb and sailing! Flying is in my DNA. But so is sailing. I began my world circumnavigation sailing trip in November 2017. I am currently on a world circumnavigation sailing trip, spending the cyclone season ini New Zealand. In April 2019 I will continue Australia, South Africa, Brazil, and into the Caribbean by Christmas 2019. You like adventure? I'm looking for a travel mate. You up for it?
