Hello, I'm Helena and
I AM:
a water lover, rivers and canals cruiser, who wants to get know better the big world of sea and oceans.
I know theory of RYA Competent crew and I’ve been sailing for 6 weeks around Caribbean, and 6 weeks in SE Asia, including overnight passages. I would like to profound the practical experience/ and build miles for RYA Day skipper license. I'm eager to learn and I'm learning quickly.
I am easygoing, fun loving, but reliable, pragmatic person. I'm fit, former semi-pro free style skier, I love snorkeling, swimming, canoeing,..what I haven't done yet, I want to try. I get on well with people, animals, kids and usually even with drunk sailors. For over 6 years I lived on my canal boat, which I completely reconstructed. I'm not afraid of hard work. Always open to challenges and new adventures. I am a very good cook. I love life and what it can offer. I have many good stories to tell. I have degree in photography and history of arts. And I am qualified and experienced sport massage therapist.
I AM NOT:
vegan nor vegetarian (I love bacon and spaghetti frutti di mare), smoker, and except the other thousands of things.. very well off. So I would welcome a boat with a low shared costs or in the best case scenario joining for free in exchange for work and my friendly company.
