Holiday home owner with villa just outside Orba. Looking for sailors!! For boat sailing. I have a 26 foot MacGreggor trailer sailer currently berthed I'm Murcia but will be moved up to Denia area. Sleeps six and has a 50hp outboard and all equipment.

Looking for potential friend or friends to sail with me as my wife is not a boating fan!

No major cost to you just a share of fuel and traveling costs. Or an arrangement to boat share of costs. Preferably have an RYA qualification or some experience. Male or female. I'm male 62 and need to refresh my sailing skills and enjoy trips along the coast. Contact me if you are interested. I will meet you before committing and that works both ways!

Hi

I did RYA Comp Crew and Day Skipper 20+ years ago (coastal waters, 25-36 foot boats). After that, my wife and I kept a Leisure 17 on Rutland Water for a few years. I haven't sailed for maybe 12 years, so I am a bit rusty. 

I am 57, based down the coast from Torrevieja, not far from the Mar Menor.

Happy to crew for you, and would travel to the Denia area. My wife and I have been here for about 3 months; we currently plan to spend around 4 weeks out of 5 here. My wife isn't keen on coastal, but has approved my response to you (!)

PM me if I sound like a possible candidate.

Cheers

Kelvin

Hi Kelvin,

I'm clearly incompetent as I didn't see your reply until this last update!!

I'm in Spain at the moment and planning to go down to the boat at the end of January for a few days. I'm giving my personal mail if it isn't blocked? [email protected]

Hi Ken

Perhaps my response to you went astray somehow ?

Anyway, I have agreed to join another boat share ... a motor boat this time, moored on the Mar Menor. 

I am currently in the UK, going back to Spain at the end of January, so I'll be sorting out the new boat share.

Maybe a few months in ... if you still need a crew .... give me a shout.  I could swap you a day on your boat for a day on mine (well, my share anyway). I'll copy this to your email, in case it goes astray again

Cheers

Kelvin

I've done some casual sailing and will be moving top the area shortly. :)
