Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I attended a seamanship school in the UK and have a strong seamanship background.

I have sailed in Antarctic waters as crew while working in Antarctica.

I owned an 8m mono hull ketch for local UK coastal waters but did sail solo to the Algarve in Portugal (where I sold it).

I'm single (I avoided the relationship question - I'm human but sensible and trustworthy) with two daughters living in NZ.

I'm very much an outdoor person. Fit, healthy and active. I am fully retired.

Im the author of an Antarctica book. I can be very sociable but also appreciate time alone. I respect other peoples property and opinions. I have lived extensively overseas including 12 years in South America and three winters in Antarctica.

I'm an ex-teacher of mathematics and science. But for the past 20 years I have worked in the oil industry in Risk Engineering.

I recently sailed the Tasman with the yacht owner. And spent a few days coastal NZ sailing.

I often coastal sail eastern New Zealand.

I am a moderately fluent Spanish speaker.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

visit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamface challengesgain experiencesustainable traveltravel

I think I said it all above. I am self supporting and have no need to seek payment for the experience. Regarding LGBTIQ I take things as they come. I have no political, racial or gender bias. Have spent four years in Antarctica I am well versed at coping in a confined environment. Reading my Antarctica book would give any yacht skipper a good understanding of my character!
I am skilled at radio operating; UHF, VHF and HF. I am/was fluent morse Code (22wpm) but little use for that now! I have experienced and well practiced in emergency response plans. I am a skilled and competent mountaineer. I am well versed in navigation skills.

My partner owns a 45ft Bavaria which we use for coastal New Zealand sailing. She is not interested in blue water sailing.
