After sailing halfway around the world this 64 year old Dutchman is now in New Zealand for the summer. My partner sailed with me from St Helena. She is now in Europe for a year of work so there is a sailing opportunity.
At the moment Malaka Queen is at anchor near Whangarei for maintenance work until the end of April. Then sailing back to the tropics again to Fiji maybe Vanuatu/New Caledonia returning to New Zealand by the end of October for another beautiful summer.
It is easy to sail this boat alone but it is much nicer to share this beautiful life: coastal + ocean sailing, exploring nature in remote places, meeting people in local villages and cities while arriving from the sea, stocking up, preparing and tasting food, cleaning, maintenance, snorkeling and diving some of the worlds most beautiful reefs. Experience is not required but being healthy and feeling comfortable out there at sea is important.
If this sounds interesting to you let me know!
