trebletide 0 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hey I'm Lindsay from Canada (29) looking for the same thing! Ready to leave April / May headed to any of the pacific islands, from anywhere in NZ. I don't have much experience sailing but I have done a fare share in and around Vancouver plus the Caribbean. Ready for the next adventure I have worked in the service industry for 12 years, I can cook, clean, launder, do hair and makeup, effortlessly run a household so whynot a boat?! Plus I am a scuba diving instructor. Let's go! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

craigkoning 0 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Thom, Did you find a ride mate. I'm certain there are a few yachts up here in Opua that are looking for crew otherwise Doug takes Seeka up to Tonga every year. He's a good captain, fairly chilled. Not sure you can expect a lesson in nautical sailing techniques (?) but you'd get the experience. Most the boats are leaving in the next couple of weeks.Best of luck mate,Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thom 0 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Thanks Craig! I've found a ride with a Swiss family. I don't know how to un-post this message. Cheers, Thom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
