I am in excellent health, high energy and physiologically much younger.
I retired from my orthopedic surgery practice before I turned 50 for quality-of-life. I currently live in San Diego after sailing in Pacific Mexico for 6 years....up to 9 months per year, aboard my Hudson Force 50 ketch...which has sold.
Dave has the captain, navigator and engineer skills gained from 9,000NM on his yacht and looks forward to being a good crew member by choice! I will provide my own transportation to and from the yacht, maintain my own health and travel insurance, cover my ashore expenses and can contribute to the boat budget.
June 2013 I flew to Manado, Indonesia to crew on a 50' monohull....debarking in Sarong after a week.
July 2013 I sailed around the north east of Borneo on a 50 foot cat for a month.
..David is very capable and skilled sailer, has good engineering skills and excellent Diver, has owned his own yacht , and an asset to any Yacht looking for Crew. Rick, owner
August 2013 I crewed on another 50 foot cat for a month and traveled to Palau from the Philippines.
