We are a couple (both 40) who plan on spending the next couple of years Cruising in the Caribbean before departing through the Panama Canal for the Pacific and longer term to complete a circumnavigation.
We are looking for crew to join us for cruising in the Caribbean on a medium to long term basis. My partner (Sarah) has a back condition that she occasionally needs to see a Chiropractor or Massage therapist for treatment. Our crew requirement is very specific since we are looking for someone with training as either a Chiropractor, Massage Therapist or both who would be willing to provide Sarah with the occasional treatment as needed when we are cruising. You won't need any prior sailing experience since we are both RYA Yachtmasters and can provide any training needed.
In return, you will have the adventure of a lifetime. We are both relaxed and easy to get on with. Apart from the obvious sailing, we both like to snorkel, hike, explore the islands etc. We think that this is the ideal opportunity for someone recently qualified who wants an adventure before embarking on a career, or someone already practising who just wants to take a sabbatical or find another, better way of life.
The crew position is not paid but no contribution towards food, boat costs, marina fees, maintenance etc is expected. Your only costs will be your own personal expenses.
If you think you might be interested and you have the right skills then please check out our blogsite at richardandsarahatsea.blogspot.com . You can find out a lot more about us and what we have been doing for the last few months.
The boat is a very very comfortable Tayana 55. She has 3 spacious cabins and you would have your own cabin and private shower/toilet. We all muck in and share the chores on the boat whether it is cooking, cleaning or general boat maintenance. This is not a "Captain Bligh experience" and we are pretty relaxed about most things.
