If you have free time and are inclined to travel, have I found the crew gig for you. And, for once, it seems pretty grassroots... I'm guessing it will be pretty competitive tho.

Does your canoe have a mast?
SWM, loves adventure and long walks on the beach. Just looking for that special girl with a forty foot sailboat.
She's on a Cal40. Great boat. Last made in like 1969.
I raced aboard the next version, a 1971 Cal39 for many years with multiple owners in both The Great Lakes and The Pacific. It is still racing in Oceanside, CA these days.
Old sturdy boats from the early days of fiberglass. It seemed the builders were unsure how much fiberglass was need so they just added more. They are tanks but they are also boats that overlapped the error of artful design which resulted in a very capable and fast hull shape, built like a tank.
In reply to DrBoost: Isn't a canoe a post about working at home but making $27,358 per week? I thought I was doing folks a favor by posting a link with pictures of a spectacularly gorgeous boat. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. ;)
Edited to add smiley face at end! ;)
Boy my wife is gonna be pissed....
Feel free to post sailboats and bikinis any time you wish!
I don't get it, I must have missed something in the story where she was actively looking for folks to go with her.
If I were not married, I'd do that in a heartbeat. Now my wife ~might~ have an issue.
It said she gets lonely and would not mind having a sailing companion.
I hope she stays well away from the pirates around Africa or we will be hearing more about her.
I was a Navy Seal, does that count?
(If you know me, the image of me as a Navy Seal has you rolling on the floor right now...)
She would dump me, probably in the middle of an ocean.

Honestly, I didnt even open the link. Here's a post in the grassrootsMOTORSPORTS section if the forum, having nothing to do with auto racing, posted by a "new reader" with no avatar, about a way to make easy money. Can you see how I could think that?
Again, where was it said that there was going to be pay? I think you misread some stuff.
Moving this to Off-Tipic. Carry on.
If this were posted on Craigslist's w4m section we'd all recognize it as a ruse by a seafaring serial killer looking for his next skin-suit, but put it in a British newspaper (not even a reputable one!) with pictures and everybody's upper brain turns off 
In reply to tuna55: Well, there IS such a thing as non-cash compensation.
In reply to DrBoost: Totally get it, my reply to you was meant in jest. This is the bummer about being mostly a lurker on here following awesome build threads: My post count makes me a new reader, even tho I signed up in March of 08. I'd previously advocated for a new status of "The Silent Motority" to pick up long time lurkers like me.
There should be a new Dork status based how long someone has lurked on the forums and rarely posted...
Ignoring the fantasy of sailing around the world with a hot, young, woment...
A few times in my life... ok- a lot of time... I fantasized of sailing around with no real goal.
But rough weather on a cruise ship really puts that fantasy into perspective- sucks to get motion sickness on a ship. I figure I would be green and lose a lot of weight for the first month. Not fun.
10 years. Wow. A few years ago, the video of a young group of people sailing for a year was posted. I thought that would be tough.
Good for her, and I really wish I could do something like that.
the trouble with sailing around the world.. not many women (hot or not) want to do it

I gocha. Your screen name should have been a hint to me that you weren't a spam-bot though.
I would love to do some sailing, but out on the open ocean, that sounds downright terrifying. Maybe I watched one too many episodes of I Shouldn't Be Alive?
I'd sign up to ship aboard in a heartbeat. If things like career/SWMBO/kids/responsibilities weren't in the way. Sigh
honestly Boost.. sailboats are very safe, even in storms. Usually rescues are due to the crew giving up, not the boat.
The sailboat in "perfect storm" was based on a real boat, Westsail 32 named "goodnews" It washed up on a beach a couple of days later, perfectly unharmed
