Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Update: Looking for tidal mile building.Would consider any location.

Hi everyone!

I am an openminded, easygoing person and try to understand everyone. I love life on the water. I consider myself adaptable. Sharing experiences about travels is something I enjoy but I also understand that people need their own time. Everything about boat life is interesting to me so you can count on me for every task on board or any activity outboard (Watersports, fishing, hiking). Learning new things is a must for me so if you are an engineer or electrician please feel free to upload your brain. So basically I want people to be happy to have me on board and have a pleasant time. If we like each other and you are planning longer passages I will be very interested.

I am also interested in paid positions. Having enough experience to be a good crew member and working in management for many years makes me a perfect candidate. I have the skills to give a hand and also already know what is expected from a good team member. I have experience with monohulls and catamarans.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I would like to gain sailing experience in different waters and weather conditions. Would like to learn more about maintenance and keeping the boat safe (its never enough). Would like to learn from more experienced sailors about all the aspects involved in around the world cruising. (This are long term goals not all of them at the same time.)
I am very interested in having conversations with people of different backgrounds. Sharing life experiences, opinions...
After finishing my business studies I have worked in sales, customer service, loans, supermarket and lately disability services.
Summer 2023 as a stew/deckhand and windsurf instructor for beginners.
My plans are from a short passage up to an around the world sail, if we are happy with each other.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

share experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamgain experiencelearn to sailtravel

Getting out of the comfort zone. Experiencing life and learning new skills. Becoming a Yachtmaster and traveling the world.
