Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I'm a Capetonian sailor, who has a happy life on land, and like to rest up from my own business life, with occaisional trips around the world on the water and land. I have my own sailing yacht in Cape Town and enjoy sailing around the Cape.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I am married, but sail largely without my wife. I am well educated, polite, and the son of a chef (some of which has rubbed off in the galley). I enjoy the nautical aspects of sailing, and am a strong navigator.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

I run a company with nearly a hundred people. I love my family and my work, but after decades of putting work first, I am now looking to spend more time on the ocean.
