Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Owner/operator of four powerboats from 26 - 46 feet, two sailing catamarans (45 & 47 feet), three monohulls (26, 46, & 53 feet) with about 15,000nm total experience at the time of writing. Multiple offshore passages as Captain, longest journey so far was Antigua to Florida (non-stop). Significant mechanical aptitude/experience, significant systems experience including electrical, plumbing, carpentry, and some sewing.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

Get along with most anyone, but prefer open minded people, mutual respect, and good communication. Cruising/passagemaking can be wonderful with good humans aboard!

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

have a holidayshare experienceshare charter costsvisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamface challengescareer changeearn moneygain experiencelearn to saillive off the gridsustainable traveltravel

Looking to build experience and days at sea (ideally obtain licensure soon). For those owners with less experience, I love teaching what I know and helping others learn at their own pace and in their own way. When on vessels with more experienced crew, I enjoy learning from others and seeing new ways to do things. Few things in life have been as rewarding as the journeys I have had on the ocean. Bring on the adventures!
