My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat
share experiencevisit remote placesseek adventureface challengestravel
Now retired and have my own boat a Catalina 320, which I now sail on the Belgian coast, one of the most difficult waters to sail on.
I have done a lot of ocean passages and I recently skippered a catamaran Bali 4.0 from Morocco to Turkey. Always willing to assist for passages as skipper or watch captain.
