Competent crew for Med or Caribbean in summer
I'm interested in joining a yacht as crew for a period of weeks or longer, preferably in the Med but also other locations including the Caribbean and possibly an Atlantic crossing. I'm based in Sydney and will be travelling in Europe during the summer. I'm a career journalist and former editor/publisher of newspapers and magazines in Australia, NZ and North America. I now write (and photograph) freelance and will be seeking to place articles about my seagoing activities in newspapers and magazines in various markets. I've been around boats most of my life, mostly coastal and inshore sailing and have owned 25-28ft sloops in the past. I'm very easy going, love the good things in life and appreciate good company and conversation. Although I'm no spring chicken, I'm extremely active, relatively fit and always enthusiastic about everything I do. Ideally, I'd like to find a yacht with a skipper or couple owner(s) who need someone friendly, outgoing, reliable and who will look after their boat as if it's their own. I'm tidy and considerate of others and get on well with just about everyone. I hope there is a skipper/owner who may be interested in good company, conversation and conviviality for a period of weeks or longer from about mid-June. My only request is to have my own cabin or accommodation space but otherwise will mix freely and assist with cooking, at which I'm quite competent.
