Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Dear Shipmates,

I have been sailing for almost 20 years, and living aboard my boat for the past five. I have a USCG Master License, and at the moment I am looking for paid positions -only- with T&E fully covered.

Thanks,
Alexei

Ahoy. My name is Alexei. I worked and traveled in over 45 countries. My life is all about adventure. I am free spirited and independent thinker. People see me as honest and trustworthy. I love the ocean, and sailing, learning about different cultures, and contributing to the life of others. I am a certified diver, and a kite-surfer. I have a fair amount of experience with engines, and can troubleshoot basic issues, and a pretty solid knowledge of electronics, computers, etc. I have some experience as a photographer, and a cameraman (video editing as well), just in case it can be useful. Oh, and in case you care about certification, I have ASA Bareboat Chartering, and the Spinnaker cert. I’ve sailed for 19 years, and been a full time sailor for five years now. My previous experience includes Software Engineering, and Product Management in the fields of Machine Vision and Artificial Intelligence. I am currently doing research in Computational Ethics.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

share experiencevisit remote placesseek adventureface challengescareer changeearn moneysustainable traveltravel

I love sailing, the ocean, and the cruising lifestyle. I am fascinated by places that are not yet spoiled or destroyed by people and civilization. I value individual freedom as the highest virtue, and sailing is the state of being free. I own a boat and live aboard for the last two years, putting more than 5k nm under the keel. I take good care of it and my crew.
