Hello sailors!
I am looking for opportunities to gain more experience on sailboats and also scuba diving. I have obtained my USCG 100 GT Near Coastal Masters license and am a PADI Rescue Diver. I would be highly interested in paid opportunities that would allow me to log more days on sailing vessels and log more dives! I am also a certified yoga teacher and would be happy to share that knowledge as well if it applies.
I have 9 months of cruising and delivery experience on sailing yachts (Tartan 37, Leopard 62, Leopard 45, Fontaine Pajot Venezia 42), 6 months of experience working as a deckhand on a 192' hydro-jet commercial high speed car and passenger ferry, 1 month on a Mangusta 100 motor yacht as a deckhand/stewardess, and 3 summer seasons as a captain on a 35-foot pontoon boat offering river tours. I have logged miles inland and in the Great Lakes, Caribbean, and Pacific Ocean, including a Pacific crossing January-February 2021. I am eager to gain more yachting experience, preferably professional experience on sailing vessels.
I would be interested in opportunities that have the potential to bring my partner along, who has worked with me as a deckhand, is an Open Water Diver, and is eager to gain more yachting experience.
At the moment, we are looking for an opportunity to join a vessel around Mexico at the end of October 2024 after a wedding we are attending down there. The wedding is in southwestern Mexico, but we could board at another location nearby if feasible!
Please reach out to me if you believe we would be a fit for your opportunity!
