Travel buddy/ies

Hello fellow Cruisers,
I am an olde, but fortunately fit and active (67 years young) South African guy who has, for 7 years, lived aboard and restored Yellow Rose, a 1983 Gulfstar Sailmaster 50 ft motor/sloop. While I can easily single-hand her, I'm thinking that I'd enjoy the company of a (suitable) shipmate or three. Let me know if you're a happy, healthy, fun, easy-going, sun-loving sort and interested...International folk welcome.
We head south around the end of October from the Hudson River ... for extended cruising wherever the wind blows us.
Thank you for your time ... Happy Cruising
PS no freeloaders, (no users), no drunks, no addicts
