I am a retired American sailing my 13 meter sailboat around the world. I seek one crew preferably with some sailing experience to assist in sailing from Fiji to New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Australia, departing in April or May, 2021. My insurance requires that I have one crew on board for longer passages.
