Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Howdy

Seeking an opportunity to gain more experience. During covid I was doing a refit to my own vessel in Rio Dulce, Guatemala, but now momentarily have returned to Australia. 40ft Endeavour.

I'm fit and ready for your call and have been vaccinated..

STCW-2010 certified, PADI Divemaster with 3 specialties, Construction Manager with a keen interest in design. Have no problem getting my hands dirty, have some rigging experience, barman and cook. Keen to learn more about vessel repairs to the hull and marine mechanics to sail making and electrical.

I’m happy to travel wherever the wind takes me.. and once more I will travel for a great opportunity as I flew from Bali to join a Harvard University Professor on His Bavaria 46 in Fort Lauderdale and sailed through the Bahamas to Luperon, Dominican Republic over 5 months.
Sailing deliveries..
Fort Lauderdale to Nassau on a double ender, Marquesses - Bora Bora then to Nadi aboard a 50ft cat.

Enjoy cooking, volunteering meeting new people among many things

Update... Australian Coxwain Grade 1 NC certified, intend on doing the Master 3 next, perhaps Master 5 and then definitely getting a Sailing endorsement!

Cheers & thank you, hope to hear from you soon.

Love to dive and have worked in the industry, worked on rebuilding a tall ship in Den Helder, builder by trade. Voluntourist for the right opportunity. I'm a divemaster with nitrox, wreck and free diving specialties.
