Crew Wanted: East Coast to the Pacific

[Douglas Gillean]

Fit, younger 59-year old skipper seeks female partner to sail and explore near and far. I'm smoke and drug-free, in good physical and financial shape, no shoreside encumbrances, open-minded and want to see the world. Recently retired with no schedule, no agenda, no ulterior motive. I seek a similar, younger woman who can sail or really wants to learn. I have 10,000 offshore miles. The boat is a 2009, well-found Valiant 42 set up for world cruising. Departing Maine mid-September for coastal cruising to Florida and Central America, through the Canal next spring and on to the South Pacific.
