Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Im a 57 year old retired Swede living in Adelaide, Australia. Easy going and keen to help out with everything onboard. Im keen to gather more experince before buying my own boat and hope to find available positions here at findacrew.
My sailing experience started as a kid when I sailed with my family in the Baltic 4 weeks a year from new born to I was in my 20's. We had a 42 footer I eventually got to take out by myself. I have a day skipper certificate I took here in Australia. I also crewed a boat for 3 weeks in 2023 in Indonesia with references here on my profile.
With that I feel confident I can fill the position as a crew member on any recreational sailing yacht.
I am a trained chef which might come in handy, happy to spend extra time in the gally if wanted.
I have a PADI non teaching instructor certificate.
Thanks for reading and enjoy your adventure out there.
