Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi, I'm Ann. I love to sail and travel to new places. I would like my next destination to be the Mediterranean.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

clean & tidycommitteddiligentdiscreeteasy-goingenthusiasticfit & healthyfriendlyorganisedrespectfultrustworthyconfident swimmergood listenergood communicatorno body piercingsno facial piercingsno tattoos at alltravel light (little luggage)eager to learn & workpoliteLGBTIQA+ respectfulpositive outlookopen mindedsense of humorcan pay own expensesavailable on my ownenjoy cookingdon't mind cleaningcan follow ordersenjoy teachinglive on little money

I have experience sailing, navigating, anchoring, watches, "housekeeping" and general boat work skills. I Spent 3 months sailing from Annapolis, MD to BarHarbor, ME and back, on a cool 60 ft Sparkman Stevens wooden ketch with hank on jib and staysail. This taught me some maintenance skills like sanding, painting, varnishing and sewing sails. I’ve also sailed for a few months on a 30ft monohull in BC, Canada, around the Gulf Islands and Desolation Sound. I spent 3 months sailing from Trinidad to St Vincent, and 3 winter seasons on a 37ft Fontaine Pajot catamaran in the Sea of Cortez along the Baja Peninsula and mainland of western Mexico. Then we sailed from the Baja to Hawaii, around Hawaii, and from Hawaii to Victoria, BC.
I also helped build a fiberglass hard Bimini on that catamaran, so I have fiberglass and gel coat experience. NOW I AM PARTIAL TO CATAMARANS.
When I am sailing, I like to fly home for a couple of weeks at Christmas and in the summer, whenever it is convenient to leave the boat.
Other interests of mine are swimming, scuba diving, kayaking, water skiing, hiking, biking, rock climbing, skiing, flying, yoga and dancing. I don’t do smoking, drinking, drugs, drama or shopping (except for groceries). I am happy, healthy, energetic, active, adventurous, cheerful, positive, warm, friendly, a cooperative team player, good cook, and someone who would take great care of the crew, the boat, the passengers and their safety. I am willing to learn and to do whatever needs to be done!

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

Like I said before, I would like to explore new places, meet new people, make new friends, enjoy the ride, the company, and share the work and expenses. Romance would be a plus.
If you are interested in romance, someone around my height or a little taller would be nice. I am 5’8”. Thanks! Happy sailing!
