Hi Jen I joined recently and am a little late in responding. You have gotten a lot of good advice. Z's last statement, something like "a boat gets real small, with the wrong person aboard" is probably the best. I singlehand almost all the time now.…

Hi Jen, The best place I have found for off shore sailing crew is a web site called Find A Crew. I have had six people join me from there and it has always been a good experience. The web site is www.findacrew.net Note that it is .net NOT .com

About Me:

Singlehanded sailing SV Athena, a 1978 Bristol 29.9.
Started sailing in 2004.
Been working on "restoring" SV Athena since 2006.
Living aboard since July 2006.
I generally singlehand, but I prefer having company and hoping to meet others that would enjoy going sailing with me on SV Athena or buddy sailing :)
Since April 2006 I've been blogging my adventures sailing and restoring SV Athena at http://sailathena.blogspot.com/

Current location:

Ft. Myers, FL

Destinations visited:

mainly southwest Florida at this point (Ten Thousand Islands and up to Venice, FL, and now living/sailing Charlotte Harbor area) but hoping to travel further with each year of gaining experience.

Looking to:

finish getting SV Athena self sufficient and doing some longer stretch coastal cruising some day...

Have an enjoyable trip and I look forwrad to talking with you more about nearby destinations. I'm so new to the area I have no idea where I can go. I am looking to meet-up with friends from my passage down from Boston in either the Keys or Bahamas as soon as Cayo Mio is put back together.

I had to repair her transmission and rudder this time. So while she was out I refaired and painted her bottom. So hopefully she is ready for another several 1000 miles of cruising.

Enjoy you Christmas and we meet soon almost neighbor.

Who knows perhaps we could crew for each other on this one as long as you promise to not keelhaul me!! I'm fragile you know.

Merry Christmas,
Capt Tom & Queen Olivia

PS Olivia appreciated the complement, but don't do it too often as she Iunlike myself) can be extremely demanding. My phone number is: 774 269-6423 in case you need anything.

Where is your boat in Punta Gorda. My boat is in Barry's marina on Allegator Creek where I am doing some repairs. Hopefully she will be relaunched shortly and will move to Ft Myers City Yacht Basin. There my boat pug, Queen Olivia, and I will move back aboard.

So let's meetup at the Slip Knot or the Irish Pub and tell lies about sailing adventures. Merry X-mas.

Thanks again for your comments on the Cruising Florida West Coast discussion. I went to your blog and I also had a look at the charts for the Ten Thousand Islands area. Looks like the kind of place I'd like to visit.

I just wanted to say that I admire you. Not many women take the step to liveaboard, much less singlehand. I will be there myself someday when the govt stops moving me around the country;-) I wouldn't mind a sailing trip to FL.
