Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I am a enthusiastic sailor, I have been traveling now for 5 years with my husband who no longer wishes to continue. Our catamaran is currently in French Polynesia. The goal is to ultimately arrive in Australia. Currently looking for crew to leave for Tonga possibly mid April and then sail onto Fiji. The weather and Cyclone season will play a huge part in the plans. Currently I have a visa that will allow me to stay in French Poly until June 2025. Husband may or may not join for passage, dependent on crew experience. Thus far we have made all passages just the two of us. Florida~Bahamas~Caribbean~Panama
~French Poly. I have been on the boat by myself for over one year with friends and/different crew members without husband.
I eat mostly a vegetarian diet however, also eat chicken and fish. I am not opposed to a meat eater, but will not be providing meat. I drink moderately, I am very social and will have guests on board and periodically have friends or family visit. I am fairly active… love hiking, running, yoga; we have small bikes on board, along with 4 sets of scuba gear. Always looking for fun, adventure and positive vibes.

45’ Catamaran 3 cabin/3 heads with dive gear, bikes, scuba, surfboard, paddle board. Kept fairly clean and tidy. Not obsessed with cleaning, however most happy when everything is clean and tidy.

Looking for a crew member that can help with passages, island hopping, will help with small jobs. Asset if likes to cook. A good attitude, in good shape, seeking adventure, likes to laugh, play and knows something about sailing. Need someone that will cover their own expenses along with some food costs. All boat, fuel, and some food will be taken care of. This person is expected to be crew, help with chores and is not a guest.
