female crew wanted for one week sailing

I am 54 year old and have a 31 feet sailing boat. I am looking for a female crew for one week sailing around Bodrum, Turkey between September 27, 2008 and October 4, 2008. No payment is required. Little boat handling experience would be better.

You mean they do not have to pay you to come?

Hmm... You're looking for a woman to crew on a boat that is owned/operated by you, someone she doesn't know from Adam in a foreign country in not the safest part of the world ATM, and they have to pay their way there, aren't getting paid and have to work while they're there.

Such a SWEET DEAL... NOT!...


Are you paying their visa fees or air transport? Now, exactly why would they want to do this—especially when so little information has been given, and the boat is not exactly a megayacht... being only 31' long. Most 31' boats are a tight fit for a couple, much less two strangers for a week.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Wasn't there someone here about a year ago trying this line? I think CAM signed up with him so maybe he can tell us all about it.

Given that the OP isn't paying for their flight, visa fees or a much else, why would they want to be in such conditions...

For the love of the sea?
I don't know.

Any women considering doing this should also consider that the guy has struck out in an entire country...and now needs to fly unknown women in... He's also a relative unknown, even among us sailnet veterans, since this is his one and only post.

With a simple typo, this would well reflect exactly what he's after.
