Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hi Team!
Another experienced crew here eager to join for an Atlantic crossing as soon as possible!
I'm in Las Palmas and look forward to connecting with skippers and help with departure preparation!
I work professionally as crew and guide on larger sailing vessels in British Columbia, Canada and have all the required commercial marine crew certificates and wilderness first aid training.
Recreationally, I’ve sailed along the entire coast of British Columbia and up into Alaska.
Recently, I helped deliver a lovely new Sunfast 3300 back to Sydney from Hobart and just completed a 9 day passage from Victoria BC to San Francisco earlier this fall on an older full keeled Alberg 37.
I also own my own little sailing boat (custom Bruce Roberts 29) and enjoy doing all my own repair and maintenance so I appreciate all the effort and resources you put into preparing for your passage. I'm always happy to help keep the boat running fast and smooth and make good food for good company along the way!
I'll be very grateful for an opportunity to connect here and in person to discuss more of my sailing experience and personal background.
To add: I speak French and English, have no passport issues and will travel with my PFD & harness! :)
Cheers!
Alex
