Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Greetings all . . . Don't let my age fool you. I am a very healthy, vibrant, and viral 70+ year old, living the dream, and still looking for that woman girl in the southern cross.
Since departing the western USA two years ago I've been cruising south from Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama on board my fully equipped 2016 Jeanneau 44DS. Most recently completed a single-handed passage from Panama to the Galapagos Islands and then a 24 day passage to the Marquesas with crew. From here I will be sailing to the Tuamotus in April - May and then Tahiti, Fiji, and an eventual circumnavigation. I'm usually single-handed but picking up crew along the way, and usually have an open spot or two as I make sail around the world . . . It's a lot more interesting and fun with others on board.
Bonne Vie

I have more than 35,000nm and 40 years of open ocean sailing experience, starting with my first transpac in 1980, and including numerous west coast USA deliveries and passages, and 6 years commuter cruising the Sea of Cortez. Two years ago I sailed south from Seattle after retiring from a 25 year career in the marina development business. With a crew of four we left San Francisco and sailed to Mexico, and then spent 5 months in the Sea of Cortez. Since then I have been sailing south again. Sometimes with a crew of 3-4, and about 30% of the time single-handed. After 4 months in Costa Rica, we checked into Panama and spent two months cruising the various islands and ports there, and then on to the Galapagos Islands, where I spent an amazing month before sailing to the Marquesas where I am now about to set sail for Tahiti and the rest of the world.
