Souther Spain to the Canary Islands
Hi to all,
As every year in autumn, hundreds and hundreds of sailing enthousiast gather here in Las Palmas in search for a position on a sailing boat to cross the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean or South America!
Many skippers are searching for crew but especially for people who have at least some experience with sailing and living on yachts in general!
Therefore, I offer accomodation on my very comfortable boat who has 4 seperate very spacious ensuite cabins (each cabin has it's own bathroom and toilet) and sailing courses!
You can also make use of the dinghy (rib) so you can visit other boats on anchor and in the marina and drastically increase your chances to find a position on a yacht!
You're in the middle of all the action and it saves you endless walking from the hostels where you have to share your sleeping comfort in 6-8 people dormitories!
Just by living on a yacht, you'll learn so much about boats and life at sea in general and how to prepare for a Atlantic crossing!
As a formal sailing instructor, I also give practical courses (1 or 2 per week) at 45€/ half day session! Not obligatary but at least one session will come in handy if you have never sailed before:)!
Own private double ensuite cabin for 22€/ night per person or share a double ensuite cabin as a couple or 2 friends for 17€/night per person! Minimum stay 6 days!
Also looking asap for a long term (min 2 months) volunteer preferable with sailing experience to stay on board and come sailing on the practical courses and to run the boat a bit (changing bedding for new guests and make sure all is fine) and for the rest, you can do exactly as the guests.... enjoying a great time on the water in Las Palmas:):)!!!
Cheers, Pete
