My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

share experienceshare charter costsseek adventurefulfill a dreamface challenges

Happy to crew for a week or two, but I am looking for a long term cruising position if we have a fit.
Asia or other countries are acceptable to me.
I am always aware I am a guest on my skipper's boat and respectful of him.
To feel the wind pick up, trimming the sails and see the boat is sailing well, that is satisfying.
Sharing the work, night watches and cooking comes naturally to me.
I am a part owner of an Beneteau Oceanis 40 berthed in Sydney Harbour.
Happy to fly to your boat at my cost.
