Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Living aboard a Nordhavn 40 exploring wherever we decide. Have cruised 25,000+NM in past 6+ years from Seattle to Alaska to La Paz, Mexico then Sea of Cortez and Mexican coastline to Panama. Went through the Panama Canal then to Caribbean and then NE USA.

Living aboard in San Diego and selling trawlers. Will start full-time cruising or part time land base when I meet a partner.

Looking for an adventurous, spiritual and spirited woman to decide where we want to go.

Cook, clean, dance, sing, and can repair most anything. Have the tools and know how to use them.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleancomfortableluxuriousimmaculatevery safevessel is survey certifiedvery spaciousshare experiencevisit remote placesfind a soulmate/partner

Maybe the most seaworthy ocean-capable 40 foot boat on the water. Round-the-world capability. And, like a small luxury apartment.
Water maker. Ice maker. AC and diesel heater/hot water.
Fully redundant radar, navigation electronics, auto pilots, radios, sat phone with weather. EPIRB and liferaft certified.

Hydraulic and paravane stabilizers.

RIB with outboard. Sailing/rowing/motor dinghy. SUP and kayak.

Crew is expected to help with docking, anchoring, mooring, as well as day and night watches. Night watches are solo and scheduled. Day watches are casual and trade back and forth depending on what else we’re doing - cooking, cleaning, maintaining boat, sleeping. Crew contributions to cooking, cleaning and boat maintenance are appreciated but not demanded.
