Description
Interested in Sailing? My partner and I live on a Sail boat in Whangarei. It is a 16m Junk Rig Schooner which has been our home for 8 years. We sail regularly and love to share our knowledge and experience as well as hearing about your stories and adventures. We have a 3 year old daughter who lives with us full time and a 14 year old daughter who comes up for weekends and holidays, plus a little boat dog. We are looking for one relaxed, motivated person to help out with childcare, boat maintenance and assorted other tasks. No experience necessary but maturity and a positivity outlook appreciated. Meals and bunk included. Oh and we just bought a house so likely need a hand fixing it up.
