| Looking for opportunities to be crew on YOUR boat. I recently crossed the Atlantic with the ARC from Las Palmas to St Lucia. It was my first crossing, and it was on my catamaran that I had just bought from a couple in Europe. I found 3 crew who joined me. The trip was amazing, and hard. I was told this was the hardest ARC crossing ever. Squalls and more squalls for the last week, and wild winds and waves. Now I am a sturdy sailor! After 3 years of cruising the Caribbean I sold my boat. Now I am looking to be an excellent crew for you. | |
