Hello enthusiast navigators!
I am a very clean person, not prude and respectful of others and their goods.
I have been trained by the Canadian Power & Sail Squadrons. My last boat, was a 2007 Mediterra. I am a plane pilot and was a member of the SERABEC Search & Rescue for 25 years. That helped me to maintained my weather forecast knowledge as well as my navigation skills. I’m versatile in maintenance as I have always done the maintenance of my own boats by myself.
I navigated into Canada, USA, Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea
Here are some of the passages I’ve done:
Orlando ==> 1,000 Islands, Canada
US Virgin Islands ==> Bermuda (a few times)
Puerto Rico ===> Aruba
NYC ==> Florida
Bermuda ==> Maine US (a few times)
I’ve also been through the ICW, Hudson River, Erie Canal, Oswego Canal, Rideau Canal, Trent-Severn, and more….
I haven't had any accident. I'm determined and act to keep it that way.
Priority number one: SAFETY FIRST. I like to take care of others, keeping all members happy in a secure environment.
The harmony aboard is the key to success stories. I like working in companionship, sharing tasks, having fun and enjoying the day/night with others.
My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat
share experiencevisit remote placeslive off the gridtravel
I like to be physically active and maintain a decent shape. I am an enthusiastic person and remain positive at all time. Even when working hard, it’s important to have fun. I’m eager to learn. As a crew member, I like to comply to the captain desires. I would like to meet open minded people to have fun and share day to day life.
If you are looking for a teammate that like navigation, naturism, having fun and enjoying life, do not hesitate to contact me.
Have a great navigation
Guy
