Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I currently work abroad and can crew in the Indian Ocean, Mediterranean, western Pacific, and surrounding areas.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I am an aircraft mechanic and welder. I work for a humanitarian aid organization (not military). Looking to spend my upcoming flexible time sailing and prepare to hopefully own a boat someday. My sailing CV and questionnaire can be sent upon request.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

have a holidayvisit remote placesseek adventureface challengesgain experiencelearn to sailtravel

Looking to gain experience and sea miles. Although I am comfortable with and enjoy (as time allows) scuba diving, freediving, spearfishing, surfing, snorkeling, kite surfing, etc., my primary aim for the next few years is to learn and become proficient at sailing.
