Looking for crewing opportunities

I'm looking for a long-term opportunity to sail the world. I have over 50,000 ocean miles and have completed 7 of 8 legs of the Clipper Round the World Race and have two full North Pacific crossings under my belt. I am a certified day skipper and I am working on my Yachtmaster presently. I also have my RYA SRC VHF. and am commercially certified. I have my own foulies/drysuit and life vest. Have done over 100 Harken Radial 50.2sta, 60.2sta, 70.2sta & 80.2sta maintenance rounds. Open minded on destinations and hope to have some fun with like minded adventurers.
