| Im in the early stages of my sailing career, semi retired. My boat is in Canada and home is in Australia so a long way to go! Ive sailed 1500nm offshore and about 500nm coastal and will be steadily adding to this over the next few years. I have friends that would like to join the boat for various legs of the passage to Australia but I am also posting here to start some online conversations with potential crew. I plan to sail with 4 onboard. Currently and for the 2023-24 northern winter the boat is in Lunenburg Nova Scotia. Next year I will be heading south to the Caribbean and the following year through Panama and the across the South Pacific. | |
