KimCrew: My partner and I are on a career break and looking to sail on yachts to build experience and gain sea miles towards our qualifications, and to have an adventure. We are 33 and 37 and have RYA Dayskipper and Powerboat Level 2 and STCW95 and want to fulfil our dream of sailing our way around the world but taking in many sights and cultures, discovering nature and wildlife from each continent. We both have a good sense of humour and are hard-working and eager to learn and have covered many trips with small shared accommodation spaces. We are currently in Sint Maarten and looking to head in any direction but aim to be in BVIs for an opportunity end of April.

Takakkaw: Retired from working/teaching, raising kids, and most responsibilities/obligations, I have gotten rid of my stuff, rented out my house - now an aspiring vagabond. I'm looking to spend the next few years on the water somewhere between 30 degrees N and 30 degrees S.
I know I am a bit late to the party - but better late than never....
Healthy, very fit and agile, I'm holding my own with crew half my age. Organized, logical, mechanically inclined and hard working, I'm good at maintenance, cooking etc.
Self-sufficient, quiet, laid back and a lifelong outdoors enthusiast (hiking/camping, kayaking in the American Southwest and bare-bones solo travels in Europe and China), I'm comfortable and skilled at living "close to the ground".
In addition to sailing, I love kayaking, hiking, biking, flying kites and skipping stones.
