| About Me | Hello I have recently moved into semi retirement but being a 60 something active fella I like to sail quite regularly. I no longer have my own boat and I regularly crew for others. I'm happy anywhere in Europe and further afield can be considered (I've recently done the West coast of Malaysai rally - Singapore to Phuket) so I'm not restricted to short passages. Summer is favourite for European stuff and out of season warm climes are OK with me I've sailed in the Med, Baltic, Adriatic, around the British Isles, Pacific (Fiji to Oz and Vanuatu to NZ) Canary Isles, Northern France, Holland etc - cold & warm!! I'm quite sociable and mixed crews are fine with me. I'm quite fit and try to be useful! I am a jack of all trades crew - helm, navigator, I have some mechanical skills and can ccok. | ||||||||||||||
