Dear Shipmates
Introduction
I am back in Marathon Florida and getting some updates done to the boat while I'm here. No plans until returning to the Abacos next spring.
About the boat, the plans, and current crew
usually cleancomfortablevery safevery spacioususually single handedlive on little moneyshare experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamface challengesfind a soulmate/partnerlive off the grid
My boat is a Morgan OI 416. She is a safe cruising boat. 2 cabins and 2 heads with showers.
I would like to find a lady to become an equal partner in life and boats, but understand how difficult that might be so just having a companion onboard would be an option. I have spent too much time on my own and would like to share the experience with someone special.
Please let me know if you are interested.
Hope to here from you.

What is expected of the crew
friendlyrarely/unlikely seasicktravel light (little luggage)can pay own expensesenjoy cooking
I was born in England but moved to Canada and learned to sail in the waters off Vancouver. In 2006 I sold everything and bought another boat. I have been cruising the Caribbean/Bahamas ever since, just working in the summer teaching scouts about living on board and sailing. I am a quiet guy. Don't talk too much, to the annoyance of some, but I also don't yell or get excited when things go wrong.
I am very experienced. 40,000 miles. An Atlantic crossing. Many races and a number of boats owned over the years. Willing to 'show the ropes' to potential crew if they are interested.
