Mediterranean to the world

hi...little update to the below: Looking for a longer distance partner to sail and write/blog and really explore the whole world with. If you are truly free and unattached I'd love to chat to see how we get along. If you and I gel...and you can really assist with the filming/writing/sailing etc...boat is paid for so its just living expense...hope to hear from you soon...crossing the Atlantic in the fall...but will be in the med all summer.

This spring and summer grateful will be cruising all round the Mediterranean doing charters and training. I do intense high performance training which covers provisioning, sailing, engine maintenance, power and water systems, etc. You'll have the confidence to sail alone after spending a few weeks aboard Grateful.

3 years ago I dropped out of the work-a-day world, put it all on the line, bought a one way ticket to Turkey and connected with Grateful, a Beneteau Sense 50. Since then, this Sailor/surfer/writer/foodie has plied the Mediterranean 25,000 miles, and hosted countless crew and guests.

I write about this, and lots of other stuff on the nationalbusinesspost.com...(link below)

I have been planning this trip all my life, with the intention of circling the globe.

...where now?...Africa, Indian Ocean, South America?
Grateful’s ready. New sails, new engine...and there’s room for a first mate who’s ready to travel...and will love Athena the rescue dog from Olbia.

I do sailing charters…but it’s not full time.

If you have a wellness practice, the boat is a perfect place to bring your clients too. It’s a great way to travel and earn a living.

Here’s a link to my column, ‘Finding Grateful’

Since I’ve begun this journey, the boat has always been filled with adventurous souls, laughter, great food, music and good vibes …and I’ve loved every minute of it. .

or you can contact me on WhatsApp. My number is in the details.
