  Previous profile from 10 years ago.
  
  My names Kevin. I'm an Irish guy but have been living in Krakow for about 11 years now. I have been sailing in Croatia for the last 5 years. The boat is an Oceanis 393 (just under 12m), has 3 double cabins, 2 heads (toilets), Kitchen and Salon. It can sleep 8 people, but is much more comfortable with 3/5 people on board.
  
  During the winter I travel extensively (generally warm places), and the summer I spend on the boat. I have a few companies with offices in Poland and Ireland but I can manage them remotely, I have internet on board so can easily stay in touch with work. Probably the best way to describe my way of work would be as a digital nomad.
  
  Croatia has over 1,400 islands, so theres always plenty to explore, see and do.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Learn to sail, and visit many places.
  Once we get into a place you are pretty much free to explore anything you want.
  
  Don't worry if you have not been on a boat before, I can teach you everything. On the previous boat I've had over 100 helpers, some of them who have gone on to get their licenses and now work in the industry.

  Help

  Looking for some company and help on the boat. Mainly docking ;) dont worry i can teach you everything, it sounds more complicated than it actually is.
  
  Looking for helpers to join me as looking to sail down to Corfu from Croatia and then onto Malta after exploring Greece for a bit. I have to be in Malta around the 12th of July.
  
  I'm looking at leaving Croatia some where between the 15th and 20th of June depending on the weather, its about a 2 day passage (depending on the wind) to Corfu, plan would be to sail down to shipwreck bay in Zakinthos and then over to Malta. (you can do the Greece passage or Malta passage or both).
  
  Just need 1 or 2 people to do watchs at night, to keep an eye out for other boats. . We have AIS and Radar so alarms will go off if we are on a collision course, we just have to change our course or make sure the ship changes course (technically the ship will give way to us as sail has right of way over motor)
  
  I can do this passage myself, but would need to stay awake for most of it (just do 20 min naps). having helpers allows everyone to have a good nights sleep.
  
  The boat is very comfortable, has all the modern conveniences, Starlink, Generator, Water Maker, Air Conditioner etc etc.
