Dear Shipmates,

Looking for paid and unpaid positions as competent crew, chef, cook, stewardess. Preferably on sailing vessels. Having completed several Pacific passage, I would like to cross the Atlantic in 2023.

I have been sailing since childhood on a family boat on Polish lakes. In 2007, I started sailing in the Mediterranean. Since 2011, I hold an offshore skipper licence (yachts up to 18 m) issued by the Polish Yachting Association. I am also a motorboat helmsman (motorboats up to 18 m) licensed by the Polish Motorboat and Water-ski Association. In addition, I hold the Basic Safety Training Certificate STCW95, the Short Range Operator's Certificate (issued by the Royal Yachting Association) and the Maritime Medical Certificate, as well as the Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate.

In 2022 and 2023, I worked as delivery crew (chef/mate/stewardess) on a Sunreef 74 catamaran and in that role completed several ocean passages, including:

· October 2022 - June 2023: Pacific and Atlantic (Tahiti, Marquesas, Hawaii, California, Costa Rica, Panama, Florida) including 18 days between Honolulu and San Diego;

· June - July 2022: 22 days in the Pacific (Galapagos to Marquesas);

· March - April 2022: 10 days in the Caribbean (Puerto Rico to Panama).

From 2007 to 2021, I sailed as a crew member on chartered monohulls and catamarans (up to 55 feet) in the Mediterranean (Croatia, Greece, Spain and Italy) and the Caribbean, mainly under my own Move it! Gourmet brand (since 2012) and on private cruises. In 2004, I sailed for three weeks on a Polish tall ship STS Pogoria, (47m barquentine) from Martinique to Miami via Puerto Rico and the Bahamas.

I am not seasick and can work in rough seas. I have never missed preparing (and eating) a meal or standing a watch, even in six-metre waves that lasted for a week.
