I am a mature single male, financially independent, fit & in good health, who wishes to cruise the Adriatic Sea for 4-5 months in summer 2019 - on my 12.5m motor yacht with a younger female companion - under 45 years? How do I find such an active, fit & fun person without sounding like a 'dirty old man'? Attitude is most important! Living in close quarters like a boat, it is important to have similar values, high hygiene standards, to be considerate and reasonably tidy, without detracting from the excitement & enjoyment of such an unique & fun experience. By the nature of the shared tasks of planning routes, anchor places, tying up at buoys or moorings, cleaning the boat, laundry and cooking - the person has to be fit & agile and enjoy water activities like snorkelling & swimming. I am well educated & enjoy spending time in warm places & tropical islands. No financial contribution is required & if the person is travelling during her college/university holidays - a modest monthly sum can be paid to meet her personal 'out of pocket' expenses. So the question is: "How does one go about finding such an adventurous person, where & on what type of site?" (I do not use FaceBook or similar social sites - as I am a private person & they seem to occupy too much time) Would welcome comments and suggestions - especially from women who would consider such a venture. Thanks for reading this thread. 'Vagabond'
