PeterP

Hi, I’m Peter, single man, 70 years young and permanent liveaboard on my 50 ft sailing yacht. I am retired from being an entrepreneur and earlier in my life I was a professional sailing skipper, having logged over 95K nm in the Med, Caribbean, Atlantic and Northern Europe.
From 2015 to 2020 I spent the summer in Greece sailing with paying guests and stayed in Sicily during the winter. From 2020 onwards I’ll be cruising the Med single handed or, preferably, with a female crew. Although I’m still very much attracted to spending the summer in Greece, for the future all options are open. I love the freedom of living aboard and sailing. Meet with sailing friends, have a drink and a laugh, but also being in remote anchorages and enjoy the silence and natural surroundings. For me cruising is the combination of sailing, preferably not in the worst conditions, anchoring and relaxing, exploring coastal regions and islands. In general enjoying life.
You don’t need to be an experienced sailor/liveaboard, but it would be nice if you are. You will share in the daily expenses on board (food, drinks, harbour fees, fuel and cruising taxes). We will also share boat jobs and chores. Being a single liveaboard, there are no blue or pink jobs on my boat. It would be nice if you are easy going and open minded. The main reason for wanting crew is learning to know new people and have a good time together. Although I am open for romance, it’s not a must for me.
I respect everybody’s own opinion and behaviour and like to keep to mine as well. I am atheist and not a supporter of populist politicians. A feeling of freedom is important to me. On my boat I am quite organized and like to stick to the procedures I find the best in sailing and anchoring. Meeting with and learning to know new people and exchange cultural habits and languages is something I really enjoy. I love animals, but not on my boat, with an exception for freshly caught fish.
