Experienced crew member who loves cooking. Looking to sail in Europe from October 2022

Available and looking to crew from October 2022
I am retired so I am very flexible with dates and duration.
I have had both Covid injections and a booster and have a EU Covid Passport. (Attestation de déplacement et de voyage). I am a resident of France and have the right to travel freely throughout the Schengen area.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have over 20+ years sailing on various boats so I have a reasonable amount of experience both on and off shore (9000+ miles). I have done many deliveries across Biscay both to Spain and Portugal. References are available. Whilst I might not have many formal qualifications I do have a wealth of experience built up over many years of sailing. I am very capable of standing a solo watch. I am a very practical person. I love night sailing. I am healthy I do not smoke nor take any drugs I drink socially. Apart from sailing my other passion is cooking. I am a good and imaginative cook and I am more than capable of providing a very good meal under most sailing conditions. I do not get seasick. I am not looking for a relationship. I am happily married but sadly my wife does not enjoy sailing. If you are looking for a good solid personable experienced crew member to go sailing with then please contact me. I speak English and have a reasonable level of French. I have sailed mainly in France, UK, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Croatia, Greece, Holland, Italy and Ireland. Looking for new challenges. I always look forward to learning new skills when sailing with different skippers and I hope to sail with you soon.
+++++++++++++
I now live about an hour from La Rochelle France so I would also be very interested in sailing for weekends/ weekdays somewhere on the French Atlantic coast.
