Former US Navy Surface Warfare Officer with 7 years of seagoing experience. I have spent most of my time standing bridge watch ensuring the safe navigation of warships. Familiar with radio communication systems, commercial radar systems, safety systems, plotting, and advanced navigational skills. I have crewed a 4000 NM journey on a 33m sloop, crewed for two weeks in the Chilean Fjords, and have completed a 5000 NM Pacific Crossing, so I have some intermediate sailing knowledge and skills associated with sailing. I am very eager to learn more and can pick skills up quickly. We are looking for interesting opportunities and different ways to see new places. We have a blog that we maintain and are amateur photographers, so if you have a specific need in those areas, we can certainly help out there, as well. We both have offshore life vests with tethers and AIS beacons. We are currently in Europe, so if you are in that area and are looking for crew, please let us know! We live in southern Bavaria but am close to the Munich airport, so I can get anywhere relatively quickly. Otherwise, we are open to any intriguing opportunities that may come up.

A note on my time at sea: I have logged around 10,500 miles and 4 months on a sailboat. The rest of my time and miles come from the watches that I stood while in the Navy on a power driven vessel.

As mentioned above, my partner and I traveled the world for four years. While we are "settled" here in Germany, we are looking for unique vacation/getaway opportunities. That being said, we are not just looking for a free ride and are happy to contribute up to our normal daily budget allowance or perhaps a bit above that if the fit is right. Together we have about 20,000 miles under our life vests and are keen to gain more experience. We would love to crew in Europe, whether that's on a delivery or helping you reach remote Mediterranean islands, but we wouldn't mind helping you out on your weekend regatta either. While we live in Europe and have full time jobs, which would generally limit us to two week trips, we will not rule out any potential opportunities, so please feel free to contact me no matter where you are or where you're going!

We know that sailing is something that we both enjoy and something we'd like to do more. Being at sea is something not many get to experience and it's a privilege to be able to utilize the ocean as a way to see the world. We would love to continue pursuing these wonderful experiences and are ready to help you do the same.
