Dear Shipmates

Introduction

.

I’m looking for someone to join me in Antigua before 20th April 2025, for a passage to Martinique, stopping along the way. I will be leaving the boat 8th July, but until then, welcome to stay.

Generally I’m looking for crew for next season to sail in the Eastern Caribbean.
Preferably long term but I’ll consider short term people too. This is not a paid position. If you want more details about the plan let me know. From there cruising the nearby islands until Spring. Late Spring 2025 hoping to head west towards Panama if I have the right crew , and the Pacific. But this is not set in stone.

Set in Stone!
Absolutely no smokers, I read generally a non-smoker as smoker who doesn’t want to say so.

Shared cost for food, fuel, meals ashore (only what you spent), etc.

clean & tidycommittedeasy-goingenthusiasticfit & healthyfriendlyrespectfultrustworthyrarely/unlikely seasickgood listenergood communicatorpositive outlooksense of humorcan pay own expensesenjoy cookingdon't mind cleaningcan follow orderswill not bring a bicyclewill not bring a friendwill not bring a pet

This is a relaxed boat and the plan is relaxed. I’m open ended and I’m not into ticking off as many destinations as possible, if we find somewhere we like we’ll stay longer. Relaxed easy cruising, swimming, chilling out. Better suited to long term cruisers than bucket listers.
