Hi,
I am 45 years old man, originally from Europe. Now as a part of my round the world trip I live in New Zealand. I sailed some 70 000 miles.
I own a 33 foot (10 metres) steel sailing yacht which is also my house. I plan to make a circuit (five or six months) around some Pacific Islands in the next year -2018.
I'm looking for a female crew-friend-partner to join me (possibly not only for that one trip). Good person who likes traveling, cruising. Someone who can enjoy on-board living with a small budget. Also someone who will work with me together to get boat ready for the trip. Because this is the best way how to know the boat and each other...
My yacht isn't a luxury or a racing boat. She is simple equipped and there will be some work before we leave NZ. But we will get the sea, the sun and the encounter with good people
I speak some English, Spanish, Czech and Polish.

17. Skipper states that the expected daily cost-share stated is for FOOD only and doe not include fuel, boat operating costs, marina fees, or any other expenses of cruising nor for profit (yes/no): NO food only. The USD 15 per day should be in normal conditions enaugh for the food, fuel and some fees.

For crew, we note that other reasonable expenses which crew may be expected and prepared to pay themselves include visa, travel to-and-from the boat, alcohol, eating and drinking in port, transportation in port.
