Im flying from here in Queenstown to Auckland for an interview on Sunday.

The interview is for a crew position on a luxury yacht.

Should I be successful, i'll be abandoning NZ of which I've 85% completed, and setting sail to travel most of the South Pacific Islands, S.E. Asia and across to South America. Dream job for me. If I put in some decent sea miles I should return to the UK after about 9 months at sea!

Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Ben.

I used to deliver race yachts a couple of times a year - w'd sail them from Southampton to wherever they were required; moneys okay but its such a laugh - however hard work and watch lengths

Are you experienced? or have certification?
