Make a sailor's dreams come true

Ok I have seen a number of post on this site where people would ask for donations to travel the world, I am not sure if they work or not.

The wife is sleeping and I'm bored and thinking,

I would like to find a someone that will provide me with a boat (cat 40-50' range) or Mono hull 50' to 70' with a paid crew to help me sail around the world. I would also like you to provide the funds for travel food, fuel intertainment, i.e. In other words pay everything.

Now for the pitty part.

I am now 46 years old and just can't aford the stuff I have listed above other than the dream. I will make sacrifices I will give you my 30 year old boat. lol I will also try to keep your out of pocket cost under $40,000 per year for my trip. Even willing to have male crew and not 20year old hard body girls. Just so you understand I am willing to bend some to keep the cost down.

So if your rich and just don't know what to spend you'r money on please contact me.

I'm a very nice guy just ask me, I'LL tell you.

Dutch

p.s. hope I didnt forget anything.
