Back in the search again for a nice woman to do a circumnavigation with. I know this sounds pathetic, but it is hard to find someone who can take off for five years, or so. We need a dating app on this website.

While I wish you luck in your search, I wouldn't look on Match.com for a boat either.

A small boat is a tiny place to be locked up with a complete strainger, for a week , never mind half a decade.
Learn to single hand , and in popular swap spots like Panama you may find a companion from another boat that has had it with her last "Bligh".
Beware , marine law may have you purchasing a ticket to her "home country" when she decides to wander off.

You could try the time honored technique I remember from "Master and Commander" - get them passed out drunk on the boat, and when they wake up they are already at sea. Only problem I can forsee is if you want to catch some sleep at some point...

I never had a woman who pooped on the beach and I had to scoop it up.
I never had a dog that could make me a sammich.
My wife finds me amusing when I'm drunk, too.

Lock your wife and your dog in the trunk of your car and after a half hour see which one is glad to see you!

I love dogs and women. The one thing about having both around at the same time is she doesnt have to leave the room to fart.

As someone(a politician I think) once said "He/She has all the qualities of a dog, except loyalty". An unfavorable assessment, I fear.

Many fascinating stories on how nautical travel companions can be health limiting. My ex was friends with Natalie Wood's sister, still a mystery there.
One thing for sure, if N43 were N86 the field would widen.

I guess if I have to have an N86 to get a woman, then I am going to be single for a long time.
You're definitely gonna have to add a lot more information to your profile..or at least a photo of the boat!
I actually think you're going about it backwards. Not many women these days would even THINK of agreeing to head out to sea with a man they barely know...so first put some effort into meeting women who are good company and also consider you to be. Put some time and effort into turning that into a real relationship and THEN try to talk her into living on a boat for a while. But before she'll agree to do that, she's gotta want to live with YOU, even platonically, for a while!

My friend Bob Bitchin says he "kidnapped" his bartender. Asked her if she wanted to sail to the island. She thought he meant Catalina. First stop was Hawaii...
He's kidding, of course. The bartender was Jody. They've been married 19 years now.

I dunno why this thread brought this to mind:
Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they're afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, the sometimes take apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easier to get. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along-- the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
Now men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable bring to the dinner table!

Wifey B: 100% great advice. You don't just walk around in a bar hoping to find someone drunk enough to agree to head on the trip and hope they don't sober up before you leave the dock. Find someone who just likes spending a day on the boat with you and work from there. Share your dream of long term cruising and see how women respond but don't push for someone to agree who you don't know and they don't know you. I'm sure you can pick up lots of cruising companions on craigslist and backpage. They'll come at a high price though and/or with lots of baggage.
Read this out loud to my family while watching Seahawks today. 3yo grandson says "why not get a big ladder to get the apples at the top?"
