Always dreamed of doing this. Time to make it happen!
Hello potential shipmates!
Fred here. I'm an adventurous Brit currently trying to cycle around the world (or at least a good chunk of it!). I quit my job about a year ago and have cycled from England to Southeast Asia so far.
I have no seafaring experience but I have always dreamed of crossing an ocean. There are a handful of sailing YouTube channels I have watched, some for over a decade. I am fascinated by the lifestyle, the freedom, and the sustainable method of travel. I have travelled in a campervan a fair bit, on long motorbike tours, and now almost a year on my bicycle. I am used to the nomadic life and am very fine with being a bit uncomfortable. Cycle touring teaches you to embrace discomfort with the knowledge that it makes good moments that much sweeter. I get a sense that there is some of this in sailing too.
I have sailed a few weeks on tiny dinghies on a London reservoir as a kid, but that is about it I'm afraid. Former climber so not bad with a few knots. I am a lover of the ocean, and have my Rescue Diver PADI certification .
I'm a laid-back and easygoing person, am fortunate to have travelled a fair amount in my youth, and relish all opportunities to speak to / get to know people from wherever, whenever. I hope I can provide interesting and enjoyable company, and the right work ethic and mindset to help get things done :)
I am interested in any kind of sailing experience. Possibly I would ship my bicycle and equipment somewhere that we could then sail to, logistics to be coordinated but entirely doable, I am told
