After resignation my job I bought this catamaran and start sailing the med. Mostly sailing single handed.
Status: Single and having 3 children living in the Netherlands.
The plan summer autumn 2024:
mid August- mid September in Almerimar(Spain) to prepare the boat for atlantic crossing.
Mid september Almerimar towards Portugal Algarve.
Oktober crossing to madeira.
After that:
canaries (arrival after arc end nov)
Cabo Verde (dec 2024)
Martinique (jan 2025)
(This is current plan, but can at any moment be changed)
Mostly on anchor and very incidental in a marina. I like to be of grid but also appreciate to be near a town. So a bit 50/50. With a watermaker and solar I can stay away for a long time from the marina's.
Boat is up to date with recent standing rigging, sails and state of art safety equipment.
Max amount of crew including captain will be 3, such everyone has an own cabin.
I have been sailing my entire life, on many different boats and area's.
I have a sporty life style. I used to do Cycling, running and swimming. On the boat I do regular gym and mostly walking a lot as soon on solid ground. And the daily swimming and snorkeling of-course.
Cost sharing/contribution, which will be around 35 euro-ish, per day. Costs: Food, drinks and fuel. In case going into marina, fees to be equal shared.
No vegan/stuff or other special diets etc. No smoking, no nudity.
You need to be easy going, positive mindset and must-have sense of humor. Positive mindset and to like a party from to time. Big plus would be if you are an musician , i am not but love to have one on the boat
No alcohol during sailing.
