Seeking boat: New Zealand departure — Pacific or Australia
Disclaimer upfront: I’m new to sailing, but I’m a fast learner and fully committed to pulling my weight.
I’ve spent the last seven months traveling — most recently four and a half months hiking the Te Araroa, New Zealand’s 3,000km end-to-end trail. I’m comfortable with discomfort, self-sufficient, and used to long stretches of hard, unglamorous effort with a good attitude.
By training I’m an engineer, so I pick up systems quickly and actually enjoy troubleshooting. I’m also a photographer, painter, writer, and musician — good for morale on long passages. I’m a big lover of life, adventure, yoga/fitness, and incredibly silly at times. I’m looking to sail from New Zealand sometime near the end of May toward Australia or the Pacific islands. Hoping to also catch some surf along the journey! Happy to do the work, stand watches, cook, and learn everything you’re willing to teach
