But have a nice trip racing thru the Med.

Thanks for your kind comments

Hi

Im very interested in your med cruise, heres a bit about me.

I'm:
male, 23years old, irish, sailor, scuba diver, rock climber, paddler, mechanical engineer, biker, tinkerer/mechanic

I'm pretty much just finished college and looking to get some serious miles under my belt!
my sailing experience is as follows; started sailing 13 years ago,
Ive been a sailing instructor for the last 6 years(during the summer months), Have worked as a "boatman" in a few local clubs; ferrying, antifouling, taking boats out of the water ect
I have a little under 1000 sea miles from STV Asgard 2 (which is now at the bottom of the bay of biscay...wasnt my fault honest) and from sailing friends boats from ireland to france.

So not a whole lot of cruising experience at all, but i certainly know the difference from one end of the boat to the other.

I would also consider myself easy going, enthusiastic (about all things boat related anyway), pretty good at trouble shooting/fixing things/knowledgeable of boats, rigging and engines.

So that's pretty much it i think

cheers!

Hey there!

I'm so intrigued! My plans do not fit your exact specifications but I wanted to get in
touch with you nonetheless.

I'm a 26 y/o American woman, and I've been living in Senegal for the
last 1.5 years as a Peace Corps volunteer. When my service is up next
spring, my hope is to cruise out of Spain toward the Mediterranean and
- with luck! - get as far as Croatia or beyond!

I do have sailing experience -- I cruised from San Diego to Panama on
three different boats in the fall of 2009. I fell in love with sailing
then and I know that's what I want to return to now.

I also love to cook and am a generally good-natured, hard-working, committed, and friendly person (though usually not this self-involved!)

Unfortunately, I won't have a ton of time before heading back to the States, so I might only be able to join you from the end of April until early June. I realize that's a shorter time-frame than what you had in mind.

I'd LOVE, however, to be in touch with you, in case you are able to take on extra crew. I can sleep anywhere and will do anything.

Let me know!

All my best,

Emily

i'd be interested but like someone above said the visa rules suck out there. my schenegen (sp!) visa is used up for the next 6 months...!

Sounds just fine to me. I'm a 63 year old architect, real estate developer, chemical manufacturing owner and willing to spend 3,6 or even 12 months sailing and bumping into ports around the Med. I'm a dad with four grown kids and a forgiving wife who understands I love sailing! I love her too!

Seriously, spring or fall sailing will work for me. I have ASA 101, 104 and some ocean sailing off California too though most of mine has been on the Cheapeake Bay. I've had a 30' Columbia, 37' Catalina and I'm looking at buying a 45' Morgan/Catalina of about '96 vintage. I'm healthy, 6'-2", speak Spanish, some Italian and ugly French. I'm a fine artist and a photographer, a contributing writer and I've traveled a lot over my career; lived in South And Central America; Southeast Asia; Europe and particularly Italy.

My cell phone is 602-315-8368 and my mailing address is kristoff@gemtek.com

Let me know if you would like to talk more.

Have you received my mail last week? I would like to hear from you. I'm available and willing to handle my own everything.

Have you determined a departure date yet and have you resolved your crew needs?
