Day Skipper looking to gain experience in sailing, add some miles and meet new people.
Hi,
Completed my RYA Day Skipper Theory & Practical, plus VHF last year.
Looking for sailing opportunities where I can practice and improve my new skills, and add to them by getting some time on the water.
I am based in Suffolk, UK so ideally opportunities around the East Anglian Coast preferred - that being said I am will to travel to join a boat around the UK or Europe for an interesting journey.
I am recently retired, fit (young) 64 year old with a sense of adventure, go to the gym 3 times a week and cycle regularly.
To celebrate my retirement last year I cycled from Lands End to John o'Groats - which was a long term ambition
For last year my target was(is) to learn to sail and get out on the water - with a view to getting a crew place for an Atlantic crossing towards the end of 2024 (note - if you have that in your plans and would like a couple of useful crew members - my wife has completed Competent Crew is an excellent (trained) cook and is keen to join the party for the Atlantic crossing - please let me know).
I consider myself to be easy going and sociable with a decent sense of humour.
Look forward to hearing from/meeting/sailing with some of you in the future.
