Looking for a Novice Crew position
Hi I am a fit, 60 year old ex-Guardian journalist who is looking for some interesting sailing experiences. I took early retirement to do lots of cycling touring, but would also like to do some long distance sailing.
My wife Clare and I did some crewing in the Med in the 90s aged 27 so I have some experience albeit it's a rather long time ago. I am fit - I've just cycled from Bangkok to Chengdu and across Scandinavia - am used to living in cramped quarters, can cook, have a can-do attitude and am happy will turn my hand to anything. Having worked at the Guardian, I am a liberal thinker, environmentally aware, but I also think having fun, and challenging yourself is important.
I like hiking, travel in general, and having new experiences. My wife is happy for me to go off and do these trips. She may join in certain circumstances.
Hoping to meet like-minded captains who know what they are doing and will be patient while I regain my sailing legs. I don't smoke and drink moderately, and am in good physical and mental health.
