Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hello there,

I'm a 41y/o Swedish ex-expat, looking to further my experience, knowledge and miles at sea. On board, primarily, sailing yachts. I am currently in a position where I have the freedom, both from work and an understanding wife, to sail the world for the next year or two. Working towards my Yachtmaster Ocean.

So far, I’ve logged 15000+ miles on 15 yachts, over the Atlantic, in the Mediterranean, twice through the Bay of Biscay, North and Baltic Sea. Can perform or assist with all tasks of running a yacht. Passage planning, provisioning, navigation (280+ hours night navigation & watch keeping), cooking, cleaning and basic maintenance.

If you think I could be of use to you and your upcoming passage, hit me up.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

clean & tidycommitteddiligentdiscreeteasy-goingenthusiasticfit & healthyfriendlyrespectfultrustworthyconfident swimmerrarely/unlikely seasickgood listenergood communicatorno body piercingsno tattoos at alltravel light (little luggage)eager to learn & workopen mindedsense of humorcan pay own expensesenjoy cookingdon't mind cleaningcan follow ordersbuy my own boat one day

I'm very easy going and low maintenance. Enjoy cooking at 20° heeling and don't mind grueling rotations, sailing short handed or in adverse condition. All whilst respecting safety, on top and below decks.

I have somewhat of a can-do attitude and enjoy problem solving. And I prefer to be engaged in the task at hand, asking to understand, or come with suggestions if I have any of value up my sleeve.
