Dear Shipmates

Introduction

"Life is like sailing. You can use any wind to go any direction" Robert Brault.

My wife and I would love to join on your amazing life and adventures. Always been interested in sailing but never really known how to get involved. Not all that many sailing vessels in the mountainous area of Canada, ha ha.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I am a highly adventurous person, I love getting out, getting involved and taking the most out of every situation. I am regularly seen out hiking and backpacking in the mountain, mountain biking, kayaking, rock climbing, SCUBA diving and getting into what ever else I can. I have spent most of my adult live travelling and exploring the world. I truly enjoy meeting new people and experiencing the adventures of their life. The desire to learn new things is a driving force for my future. I am an electrician by trade but I have recently returned to post secondary school for electrical engineering technology. I do come as part of a team with my Wife. She is a lot like me and we complement each other very well, I am just a little funnier! We also have the addition of a set of twin girls born in the middle of June 2018. I understand these two little anchors can cause a bit of hesitation for some but Shannon and I are both excited to get the kids involved with everything there is to see. They have already sailed from the Whitsunday Islands to Carins, Australia, travelled through South East Asia around the Middle East and even hiked to Mount Everest Base camp in Nepal. They come with us everywhere and are keen on it as well.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

The privilege of getting involved on a crew gains access into people. You can share a passion with new people that you may have never met in any other situation. We want an opportunity not to go sailing but to sail! We strongly believe that getting involved, pulling our weight and doing what ever you can will make for the best situations and will reap the greatest rewards for yourself and everyone else around you. We will be in Central America from December to March and would love for the opportunity to hop aboard as crew to make our holiday that much more amazing.
