Travel Companion

I am hoping to find a long term female travel companion / friend / crew, who would be Interested in joining me on this cruising adventure to Thailand.
If you have a passion for being on the water, long term cruising, exploring new destinations, the ability to relax and live a simple lifestyle, without the initial outlay of a vessel, then this may be the perfect opportunity for you.
Although some sailing experience would be advantageous, a passion for the sea, willingness to get involved and learn is of more importance.
In order to help ensure the safety of everyone aboard, you would need to hold a minimum of “Competent Crew” certification, willing to obtain or able to demonstrate similar experience, before any major ocean crossings.
All expenses would be on a shared arrangement.
Onboard crew have an equal say in the decision making process. Although the final decision is that of the skipper. Everyone aboard needs to feel safe with any passage plan.
Extra crew will be taken on as required for longer passages.
For long term cruising and living in a confined space, I think there needs to be some compatibility, so this is my main pre-requisite.
Also you must be prepared to;
Have fun.
Pitch in and learn the ropes.
Learn from each other.
Become a watch captain when short term crew are aboard.
Explore new destinations.
Live off grid (with some mod cons, of course).
Have a sense of humour.
Listen to a lot of 80s music. Sorry that's my era :).
If you are interested in finding out more about this opportunity, I will be more than happy to answer any further questions you may have.

Cheers ?
Phill
