Watch: Cruising off of Beachy Head

Tunisia to the Agean & Southern Black Sea & return

I am a liveaboard owner & Skipper.
I'm an old sea dog with a lifetime of experience and yachtmaster certified.

I am looking for a companion to sail with me on next year's adventure. Leaving Tunisia in Spring next year, after routine maintenance, sail repairs and upgrades.
Starting in Tunisia up to Greece and the Agean islands and island hop but heading North and entering the Black Sea but staying South due to the war zone in the North.

I am looking for a reasonably experienced person, maybe a boat owner or ex-boat owner M or F.
Having sailed with Novices or crew with little experience, I cant do it again as mistakes cause breakages or injuries or worse. I wanted to teach people but it didn't work out and I have a bunch of repairs to do first.

So I decide to advertise early and maybe somebody who can spare that much time and is happy to live aboard and help me do jobs and then sail competently and stand day & night watches, can and join me on the adventure.

I am easy going and have a good sense of humour. Honesty and Loyalty too -)

Not a reliable person. Stay away

Went on a sailing trip with Ritchy. He appeared to be not a trustworthy and reliable seaman. He has lots of stress and problems on the boat while sailing. If he doesn't like you, he can just kick you out from his boat at any stop.

Competent and safe skipper. Well kept yacht.

Went on a lovley and lively day sail on the solent with Richy.I find him to be a competent skipper with attention to safety and knows his boat well. he is also quite a tidy skipper (to my liking) and always keeps the cockpit clutter free. The boat sails well and has all the safety equipment. It is very well maintained and looked after, really clean on the inside too. I would recommend sailing with him, and look forward to do so myself.
