Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hello!
It's about slow travel, for now Portugal and Spain. So no daily travel, taking time to see beaches, towns and enjoy food and drinks as well. Enjoy nature and all good things boat life.
Private cabin available of course. And references from previous (female) crew is also available.
I'm working remotely and travelling with the boat. Having a great life less rushed. Being with nature, meeting new people and of course boatwork when not doing remote work.
If interested, send a message, let's see if we can have some good times.
About the boat, the plans, and current crew
usually cleancomfortablevery safevery spaciousvisit remote placesfulfill a dreamlive off the grid
Plans are, for now: visiting towns, marinas and anchorages in the Algarve. Slow travel so be in one spot for a while and sail to the next. Of course some daysailing just for fun!
There will be some longer multiday passages, but all well annouced in advance. And wishes and input are always welcomed.
What is expected of the crew
easy-goingrespectfultrustworthypoliteopen mindedsense of humorcan follow orders
Relax! You're not working for me, just here to co-enjoy life on the water. There are of course chores (captain not exceptioned) and while sailing I'll definitifely need you to listen and be a teamplayer. Everything will be explained of course so you'll learn why some things go which way. And hopefully I'll learn as well from your experiences.
My motto is "if you don't understand what I meant I need to find another way to explain".
