I have professionally worked in the international maritime shipping industry my whole life and enjoyed nearly everything I had to do. Now retired I searched and searched for the right world class cruising yacht that I can manage alone and found it up near Chicago, bought it and brought it down rivers and sailed on to Florida and now I started living my dream, a new Maritime Lifestyle. I have been to many parts of the world and I know where I do not want to go. But I have been to wonderful places that I like to return to by sea. So if you are reasonably fit ad argyle , can swim and get along with others, like the idea of traveling out on the ocean in fresh air, enjoy a simple clean life in seagoing attire. I prefer an older to middle aged woman, with a relaxed can do pioneering spirit and a willingness to learn. US Passport required. I am the proud owner the USCG documented sailing vessel is SIRENA CALLIENTE, a 43 foot Polaris, a Robert Perry designed cutter rig built in Taiwan, China. Only 5 vessels built there. The first photo is me scouting the s South American seaport of Salinas, Ecuador, May 2015. Thanks for reading. Rick
