WELL DONE……you found us. …..Help us escape from the Australian winter.
G’day sailors
Help us escape from the Australian winter.
We are looking for more and more experience and miles on the waters, or around water.
Also, looking for a memorable time and new friends of course.....
But genuinely looking for as much experience as possible before we dive into the world of expensive catamaran
We recently owned a sailing 29 foot Spencer monohull, which we have worked out the simple aspects of sailing around our local area.
We have also hired 50 ft catamarans from The Whitsundays (Australian great barrier Reef ) a couple of times .....self skippered.
I have also had experience with night watches and I have currently done my Australian Coxswais theory but now need more get more sea time to get my actual license Completed. This license allows me to skipper a Commercial vessel up to 12 m
We live in little coastal town in Australia (Batemans Bay) and all types of boating/water activities has always been a huge part of our lives.
We are available from now until the end of August ish 2024......... But very flexible as we are self-employed in Australia.
We are more than happy to pay for our self’s to get to you.
Katherine ( Cat) my wife
She is very vibrant as you will see....... I take her everywhere with me to entertain everybody, so as I can do the disappearing ninja after my 2 drinks......
But seriously ..... Cat is very very social, energetic health conscious and down to earth, …….blends in anywhere.
As for me, I can be social when need be, but happy to sit and stare at the ocean.
I'm always (always) willing to help and inquisitive.....I dont need entertaining….. I can always find something to do to make the next day a bit easier, on or off the boat….. maybe not after 15 days at sea on a ocean crossing.,…. Time will tell?
We both like cooking and a vino/s .....no problem
And both come from a hospitality background before we were self-employed.
We both owned and operated a local water sports business teaching water-skiing wakeboarding and tube rides about 10 years ago and working with local tourism.
In our younger years we have had a lot of experience in the hospitality industry.
We have been married/together 27 years with two children, 18 boy and 21 girl that are now capable of looking after themselves ……so now we can look forward to the next chapter...... Hopefully one-day sailing around Australia then French Polynesia/Indonesia..... That's this week's dream anyway .....depends on the winds of course.
I am 49 years young (Most Days), my wife is 43.....financially independent and pay our own way.
I weigh 97kg and my wife is 70 kg...... Catherine is very fit ..... I'm more like a tractor on one piston…..I get the job done :)
We are very Tidy.....Im bit of a clean freek.... I will clean your boat good, no problem.
No problem for me to tell you the rest of our story on the phone and you can tell me yours.
Possibly Chat soon.
Good fortune to you all.
