Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hold my Master 100ton licence in the USA and Master Scuba diver Instructor certification from PADI. US passport. Available for deliveries as captain with crew, a deckhand or cook. Willing to go pretty much anywhere and usually happy to do so.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I have a commercial Master 100ton license with a sailing endorsement from the USCG. Previously held IYT bareboat skipper and basic sailing instructor certification for five years. I completed my STCW95 in 2013 and am current on first aid/CPR. I have been a PADI instructor since 2010, and enjoy being underwater as much as on top of it. I've done lots of sailboat deliverys, as both crew and skipper, and have lots of motorboat crew experience from dive and fishing boats and did competative dihgny racing in school and University. I have done most boat jobs – working on engines, electrical and plumbing, cleaning and polishing above and below deck, general maintenance, cooking and passage planning and, of course, the fun part – sailing and diving all over the world. I’ve also had many land based jobs with transferable skills, such as housekeeping, customer service and restaurant work. I have sailed over 40,000 nm. I'm available to go anywhere interesting. Willing to try (almost) anything once, a hard worker and fast learner. Currently living on my own boat in Santa Barbara. Apologies to those looking for crew contributions, I will not be able to join you on your journeys. CV and references available on request.
