2 x crew looking to join short-medium term sailing trips out of Ecuador, Colombia or nearby Caribbean Islands
Ahoy! - My partner (Laura-26) and I (Olly-30) are keen sailors, hoping to get onboard with an experienced and fun-minded vessel. We both have coastal cruising experience and would enjoy learning from experienced skipper and crew.
We are currently driving an old truck through South America (currently in Northern Peru). Will be available to sail from mid-September onwards and open to meeting in any port in Ecuador, Colombia or Caribbean.
In 2022 we owned, lived aboard and sailed a 30 foot keeler on the east coast of New Zealand. We made extensive trips, sailing in a range of conditions and enjoying the cruising lifestyle. We are loving Latin America and keen to explore some of it by boat.
I learnt to sail in a 24 foot keeler which a couple friends and I bought, repaired and taught ourselves to sail on the East coast of New Zealand. I learnt a lot with this boat, mainly due to many things going wrong and needing to be fixed on the fly. I have completed one ocean passage as crew from New Caledonia back to NZ.
Besides sailing, our ocean hobbies include surfing and spearfishing but we are keen to give anything a go. We are both quick learners, practical, can take instruction and think fast in stressful situations, tidy, up for a laugh, easy company and can cook. Sea sickness is not an issue for either of us.
Let me know if you want to know anything more. We look forward to hearing from you... Cheers!
