Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hi, my name is Tom. We are a young family who live aboard our boat and travel the world by sail!
We love the life we have, and the sustainable way we get to explore countries, cultures and remote places in our own time and off-grid.
We are looking for people who would like to join in our adventure for a few weeks at a time, people who want to learn to sail, and experience this beautiful mode of transport.
About the boat, the plans, and current crew
very safelive on little moneyshare experienceshare charter costsvisit remote placesfulfill a dreamface challengeslive off the grid
We live aboard our beloved blue water sailboat. She is a Moody 46 and is very well maintained, reliable, and built for ocean passages.
Right now we are in the Galapagos having sailed from the UK, via France, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Croatia, and the Caribbean.
Our plan is to sail the across the Pacific Ocean and enjoy French Polynesia and Australia too!
If this sounds like a plan you would like to be involved with then please contact me!
What is expected of the crew
clean & tidyeasy-goingenthusiasticfit & healthyrespectfultrustworthyrarely/unlikely seasicktravel light (little luggage)eager to learn & workpoliteLGBTIQA+ respectfulLGBTIQA+ orientedpositive outlookopen mindedsense of humorcan pay own expensesenjoy cookingdon't mind cleaningcan follow orderswill not bring a bicyclewill not bring a friendwill not bring a pet
This is a fantastic opportunity to come and join us as we travel and see the world. We're looking for people who can join us for a few weeks at a time (maybe longer).
We need people who have a positive, enthusiastic attitude, and are willing to learn! Ideally you will be young and healthy and not likely to get seasick. But most importantly you need to be willing to work hard and help with boat maintenance, helming, cooking, and watch-keeping
In return you'll get an opportunity to travel with us and experience this way of life! You'll get time ashore to explore the places we visit, you'll improve your sailing skills and learn how to maintain a sailboat, experience the highs and lows of life aboard, will grow as a person, and have an adventure you will remember.
Still interested? Message me :)
