- About Me:
-
I am selling my moderate sized sailboat that was great for the Great Lakes but am now in the market for a much bigger sailboat designed for offshore passages - a 53' Ketch rigged monohull. I am looking for a companion to sail the world with starting with the Caribbean, Mediterranean or SE Asia (wherever I end up buying the boat) for a year or two and then travelling farther. Baby steps before crossing any oceans but I have a (very long) list of interesting places that I would like to go to eventually and that list seems to keep growing the more I talk to people or do research!
- Sailing Experience:
-
I've completed three significant offshore passages up and down the east coast of the US over the last year in the type of boat I'm looking for plus I have more than 40 years of Great Lakes sailing experience as Captain (mostly solo or with my (formerly) young kids).. I am always learning and a crew-mate who knows as much or more than me would be very welcome although I love to teach so a crew-mate who loves to sail and travel but isn't widely experienced would be very welcome as well.
- Sailing Qualifications:
-
I've done the complete NauticEd Captain course and have had my Canadian PCOC since the requirement initially came out. I have been sailing and boating since I was in my early teens (so over 40 years) but some day want to do the RYA Offshore Yachtmaster (once I get the qualifying offshore sea miles). I've done a bit of racing although with my boat and me mostly single-handing it, I called it "chasing". :-)
