Update from Gran Canaria. Anyone here? Will stay till January 2025. I know the island well. I have a car and can help.
Happy to meet to sailors perhaps discussing boats, transatlantic crossings, best route to qualifications, boats fitting etc. I can support in repairs.
I am an accomplished biker in the process to swoop to sailing boats. I intend to build experience chiefly in 22-42 feet sail boats of all kinds. Interested in the French Canals as well.
I speak a number of languages. I am familiar and move well in a lot of European Nations (Full list at bottom)
I am quite a pleasant person with likeminded kind of people. I drink moderately normally with food. Enjoy conversations in this case I hope in sailing, fitting boats, international voyages etc.
I get on well with people of all walk of life especially same age or older. In case of a family with kids happy to lend an hand.
I am very good and ultra experienced with power tools so for repairs or emergencies I am possibly one of the best you wish aboard.
Happy to pay my own expenses and for the right boat pay contributions. If you have a shore based maintenance or refit project I may consider to volunteer for free or offer my services for a fee. Ask me more about my skills and tools.
In the next months I will be in Canary Islands, UK and Sicily/Malta. So if you around I await to hear from you for an informal chat.
Can be as little of a day sailing as one or two weeks or who knows a Transatlantic sail.
Normally based in UK I can easy fly or drive to many European Destinations. If needed I even have a motorised bicycle (40 Kg Road legal Piaggio Ciao) that I can reach you with and keep aboard dismantled.
Well if the above sound of interest to you then please get in touch.
Marine Places where I am very familiar are : UK, Ireland, Italy, Sicily, Malta, Ionian Islands and Mainland Greece, Crete, Athens, Costal Albania, Tenerife, Gran Canaria and many many more
