Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi, I'm a retired technical engineer, having completed 26 years service with Ford Motor Company.
I've enjoyed a second career renovating farmhouses in rural France, both for ourselves and for other ex-pats.
Along with sailing, I love swimming, snorkeling, motor racing, and most outdoor sporting activities

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I've been a hobby sailor for many years. In 1997 I persuaded my wife to take our Day Skipper qualifications in Corfu. We really enjoyed and successfully completed the two week course. The following year I bare boat chartered a Beneteau 423 for a week, sailing around Corfu, Paxos, Anti-Paxos and the Greek mainland, with my brother and his wife, having a fabulous time. Looking to further increase my sailing experience, along with my wife - we are both 'younger than our years', love a challenge, and having fun and shared experiences with friends that we are yet to meet ...

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

We are a fun loving couple, always looking for new and exciting challenges. We are good team players and ready to share the chores as well as the pleasures.
We look forward to meeting you ...
