Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Dear captains, I am Emil, 38yo, underwater photographer, nomad and ocean/sailing lover looking to sail in Fiji/Vanuatu/New Caledonia. I am crewing in Fiji at the moment until 15th of november.

⚓My sailing experience:
In November 2019 Transatlantic on a Bavaria 50 with 4 crew, then sailed around the Caribbean on a Swan 50ft for few month then on a Lagoon 45 from Curacao to Colombia, Panama and across the Pacific with 6 crew to the Marquesas and the Tuamotus. Then in the Society islands and again the Tuamotus on a 52ft Jeanneau. I then sailed from FP to NZ on a Passport 54 and from NZ to Vanuatu on a 44 Ketch. Around Vanuatu islands and to Fiji on a Dufour 50ft. So I have some experience but I wish to learn more. Sailing became a passion and a new way of living.

What I can contribute 🤲 :
👨‍🍳 I enjoy cooking a lot, i eat healthy and I have no special diet.
🤿 Freediving skills, scuba diving buddy (instructor) and spearfisher. I have a speargun so i can bring dinner🐟
📷 Professionnal equipment for underwater photography and video editing.
⛵ I will be helpful on the boat: nightwatches, diving anchorages, In-water hull cleaning, polishing, docking, planning grocery shopping, meals... I will be able to be there for the crew, plus physical strength and agility. I can go forward in tough seas, up the mast, under the boat. I am easy-going, willing, trustful, enthousiaste and ready to sail :)

Plz feel free to send me a message even if you have different route plans.

Fair winds,
Emil
