Dear Shipmates

Introduction

We are a married couple who are semi-retired and enjoy an active lifestyle. We have always been involved with boating and watersports and have acquired our ASA certifications. We recently completed a 2,750 nm / 16-day passage from Hawaii to Los Angeles. Our goal is to explore the Caribbean, pass through the Panama Canal and onto the Galapagos Islands, South Pacific, Hawaii and/or other ports of call. However, we are flexible and open to other itineraries.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

We enjoy hiking, snorkeling and exploring.  Having been power boat owners we know and understand what it takes to care for and maintain a boat.  I am mechanically minded and can generally perform most DIY tasks.  We are low maintenance and willing to perform all aspects of crewing from night watches to scrubbing the decks.  We understand the importance of shared duties and are tidy and well organized.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

share experiencevisit remote placesseek adventureface challengesgain experiencelearn to saillive off the gridtravel

To learn all aspects of sailing while having some adventure along the way. Our longer term objective is to gain experience with the possibility of acquiring our own sailboat in the future.
