CONTACT DETAILS
If you are interested in
contacting me on Mantra,
please get in touch. My
email address is:
paulonmantra@yahoo.com
I live aboard Mantra all the time but sometimes I
am in England for short
visits and I am going to
spend winter 2010 / 2011 in
France. When in England
I am on mobile
0779 275 4711
and I am
usually at Midhurst,
West Sussex I have
no plans to visit UK in
2010 until possibly from
Port Napoleon or, more
likely, from Digoin.
My
Cyprus mobile / cell
phone is normally
switched on all the
time, regardless of
where I am --
except when I am in
France. The Cyprus
number is
(00 357) 99 647 619.
My
France mobile / cell
phone number was (0033) 6 33 57 91 88.
I am
hoping to re-succitate that
French number but it has
probably expired and I will
probably have to get a new
number. Watch this
space!!
I get local cellphone SIM
cards when I am going to be
somewhere for an appreciable
period of time and I
give the number in the
Immediate Plans & Summary
section.
If neither phone number
works then it will either be
because of poor connection
or because I am temporarily
out of range. Please try
again or send an email.
I try to get a Wi-Fi
connection whenever a useful
one is available and I also
use Skype.
My Skype contact name is
paulonmantra
Do feel free to ask whatever
questions you would like to
put to me.
Good luck in making contact.
INTERESTED?
If you are interested in
joining me for any future
cruising on Mantra for a
leg, legs or possibly even
on an open-ended /
longer-term basis, please
read below:
The likely scenario of
events preceding joining as
a crew member would be:
You decide you are
interested enough to make
contact with any questions
you may have.
-
Firstly, you decide
you are interested
enough to supply me
with the information
I need from you, see
below.
-
We communicate and,
if positive and if a
meeting is possible,
then we meet.
-
We research each
other until we feel
comfortable.
-
We agree verbally
when and where and
for what leg(s) you
are going to join.
-
If you prefer formal
paperwork or if you
are going to be with
me for an extended
period of time then
I would send to you
an Offer Letter
Invitation and
possibly a Crew
Agreement document.
However I do not
consider that such
paperwork is needed
for cruising in
Mediterranean /
European waters and
would only go in for
such paperwork if
you, the crew, were to say
they would be more
comfortable with
such formal
paperwork.
-
I get to (or stay
at) the place where
you are going to
join.

re-assurance that you
believe you meet the
"specification" and that

waters.
