Smile Female crew to sail east coast US to Bundaberg Australia

Intro

After reading some of the previous threads re: looking for female crew and almost split my sides laughing I thought I would prepare myself for the onslaught of my offering. I'm a single, good looking, tall dark and handsome 44 year old. So here goes crew, do you best. Hopefully the right lady is out there waiting for this post.

One female crew wanted to sail well founded 37' to 41' yacht (I'm looking to buy in US and sail home to Australia in late 08) from east coast US to Bundaberg, Australia. The route from Fort L. or Annapolis might take in Bermuda and Windward Islands as a shake down cruise to test compatibility. At this point a decision will be taken as to proceed to the Pacific via Panama or Cape Horn enjoying Rio and Buenos Aires (Tango and steaks). Then onto Valparaiso and the Galapagos.

You are 28 to 40, of good nature and narrow beam. Sailing experience not required, but some experience in heavy weather will tip the scales to the Cape Horn adventure.

All expenses to be shared equally. I am not looking for a cruise passenger. If you are travelling on a shoe string budget this will not suite either of us as I am not looking at subsidising someone elses lifestyle.

If you have wealthy parents that are prepared to support your adventures, or of independent means, all the better.

Cheers
Zephyr88

Well that rules me out. The female part I was prepared to finesse.

How were you going to finesse the narrow beam part?

Translation:
Smoking hot young babe needed to cook, clean, have sex with me, and stand watch during storms. Must be willing to pay 1/2 of all expenses because I'm cheap. I'm also so good looking and charming that I can't seem to find a female who wants to spend more than 5 minutes with me, so I need to hook up with someone who has never met me.

Please send a nude photo of you sailing in 20 foot seas, and a copy of your latest bank statement.

I don't think they actually wonder, they know. That bemused look on their face is the product of trying to reconcile the theory of evolution with the Cro-magnon male standing before them. They see right through the minor civilized aspects of us.

Great translation US27inKS, I had not idea thats what I may have implied. Mmmm! maybe way too much caveman in me, not a bad thing as I've been told cavemen look after their women whereas metros don't. As for cheap, subjective, I can cook very well (also subjective but rare steak on fire, mmmm! !more steak!) and as for meeting a woman, I know a few but non of them is the right one, non is willing to sail naked in 20 foot seas. You did forget the bit about willing to have babies. I liked the bit about the bank statement, but not essential.

Come on you smoking hot young babe, surely you're out there somewhere, I'm here waiting for you. You won't be dissapointed.

Cheers
