The voyages of Taltalina
My Travel Story
My friend, Michelle, who lives in Panama, has just fulfilled a life-long dream of buying a sailing boat to go cruising around the world.
She needs a skipper and a cruising companion to help her realise her dream, which is such an amazing coincidence because this has been a life-long dream of mine too.
I worked on super yachts for ten years in my younger days, so I have all the necessary skills to help her on her boat.
She has been trying to sell her small jungle lodge in Panama for a year now to help fund her dream and to pay for my ticket to join her, but has not been able to do so up until now.
She wanted to pay me as a skipper, but I said I would happily help sail her yacht for free, because it has been my dream too, as long as she can fund my ticket and living expenses.
I haven't been able to raise the funds locally as COVID seriously affected my local business in South Africa, and international travel from South Africa has become unaffordable for me.
I have been living with family trying to find my feet again, but business has been slow. With the sailing boat I can do one of the things I am good at again, sailing, offering cruises and sailing instruction.
This is a once in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity I can't give up.
Are there any angels out there who can help me get to Michelle?
As a return gift we are happy to offer any contributors a cruise on our 49Ft (23m) along any of the legs that we find ourselves on. The proviso would be that you would only have to pay for your air ticket to place of departure and when leaving the boat.
