Escaping this EU Corona madness !!! Heading for West-Africa...

Update: making a standby list for candidates to escape EU when lockdown madness gets too much. Departure date can be really fast. You must be able to travel to the Netherlands in short notice to participate.

For some reason only getting MALE applications. I only sail with 3 M+F TEAMS so ladies.... please apply !

Looking for an international team of 6 crew (3M and 3F) to escape from the current and endless Corona madness.

Departing when the shit hits the fan (End January 2021?? before we will be locked up forever) from Steenbergen, NB, Netherlands (or pickup possible from close by airport Zaventem or Eindhoven) Easy to reach by public transport and Flixbus via Rotterdam Zuidplein.

This trip is only for very open minded, free spirited people. People not wanting to be locked up because of some so-called pandemic. People sick of these orchestrated bullshit lockdowns.

NO VACCIN NEEDED. TO THE CONTRARY ..

No experience needed, rookies welcome. Preferably looking for 50%/50% males / females for group spirit. Females are not only used for cooking (the captain cooks a lot...) and cleaning, but fair duty sharing, so definitely also sailing as this seems an issue for women on board of other trips.

Possible to meet up with the captain in advance in The Netherlands on the boat and maybe sail a short trip.

Boat is a 2008 Hanse 350 with all navigational gizmo's and plenty of food and drinks. Open minded and Hedonistic setting. Shared Food and drink contribution, no travel costs. Extra food or harbor costs if any to be shared

Dutch borders are currently open, travelling discouraged but not forbidden.

Final destination will probably be Lamin Creek in The Gambia, where the captain has also some (unlimited and free) lodging possibilities in his Charity project there, but stops are provided at Porto Santo, the Canary Islands, the Savage Islands, Spanish Sahara and maybe Cabo Verde.
Any place that is NOT REGULATED BY FUCKED UP GOVERNMENTS....

Amazing Time!

Thank you, captain, for one of the most memorable adventures of my life! If you have the chance to sail with this guy, do it! But be warned: things will get rough, things will fly around (quite literally), things will be chaotic and you will be teased nonstop ;-) So, a sense of adventure and a sense of humour are required.

Good time!

Many thanks to DigitalRubbish for selecting me to join him on a month long sail to the Feareur. I can highly recommend this crazy guy! The month we spend together was awesome. Throughout i've felt safe, appreciated and comfortable(ish). This guy is not afraid to voice his opinions so beware… haha. But in the end a very open, generous and warm individual that is tolerant and laidback. Proudly Belgian, expect to be taken care of and cooked for. Most chaotic autist I’ve ever met.

One of the most exciting adventures in my life. I would repeat it again the same next year. The capitan is very prepared and competent in the sea and out of the sea.
