2024
I recently crewed on a 49' X-Yacht from Channel Islands Harbor to Marquesas, Tuamotus and Tahiti and also sailed the return direct to California. 8000NM from April - June 2024. Our trip is documented in the July issue of Latitude 38. It was wonderful but the return trip was tough.

I'll be teaching in Sausalito and Berkeley this summer and potentially boat sitting in Tahiti.

I enjoy being on the water: sailing/swimming/diving/snorkeling/fishing . I like passage planning, provisioning, menu planning, and cooking. I would love to get more sea time on larger vessels or do longer passages. I'm going for my 100TN.

Would love to sail with great Captains and sailors who are knowledgeable and fun.

I’m good at customs paperwork, night watch, provisioning, cooking and keeping the boat tidy. I have entrepreneurial & marketing experience. (I own my own business and currently operate remotely).

I have good boat etiquette and will respect & take care of your boat/home. I’m looking for a lifestyle experience with like-minded individuals.

Hope to sail together.

PS The reason I put volunteer and paid positions is because I do occasionally do paid deliveries as crew. If you're a private boat, I'd be happy to join you on longer passages to get more sea days towards my 100Ton. Thanks!
