Sailing Surfing Snorkelling In Mentawai islands Indonesia.
last year I travelled from Sydney to Indonesia spending 5 months travelling around East Indonesia.I took the boat out of the water last November in Lombok and returned home for 4 months.
The boat now has a fresh coat of paint and is ready to go for this season.
I am currently in Java heading west towards the Mentawai islands.
I have 2 spare cabins on my 36 foot Sail boat looking for crew that would like to share the experience for a week or 2,help out with sailing and food preparation.
I Intend to spend plenty of time snorkelling and surfing and enjoying the scenery, meeting the locals and exploring local towns.With this being a one of the premiere surfing destinations this is going to be a high priority on this leg of my trip.
There will be open water passanges so some previous experience at sea would be advisable.
Crew will be expected to contribute towards food an fuel.My intention will be to sail as much as possible.
I have a relaxed schedule which is open to being changed and travel time will be dictated by the wheather.
If you would like to experience life aboard a sailboat in Indonesia send me a message,
Crew will need to find there way out to the islands off Sumatra as I will not be heading to Padang unless absolutely necessary for supplies.There are ferries and fast boat services to islands.
This will suit people currently in Indonesia and are ready to go, I am not looking to making any long term commitments into future.If your here and ready to go send me a message.
Thanks Steve.

Excellent Time
I went sailing with Capt Steve a few times while he was up in FNQ. Had a great time, he was very hospitable and chill and had some excellent conversations. We had a great time discovering the area and his new (to him) boat. This was my first experience with a crewbay job and never felt unsafe or worried. Good luck with the rest of your travels!
