Dear Shipmates

Introduction

My name is Benjamin, I am 32, French and currently living in Geneva. I used to work in the hedge funds sector. I am changing my carreer and wishing to go to the caribbean for the winter.
Regarding experience : I have practiced light sailing since I am 6, used to be assistant instructor on dinghy. Then, I started sailing on yacht for 13 years. I have done lot of sailings in Britanny (France) and Mediterranean sea. Then I sailed in Ireland and finished my training with the RYA and passed the Yachtmaster offshore 2 years ago
I am used to live on a boat, I have more than a hundred days at sea, I can help with all tasks. I have also a small training on Diesel engine maintenance.

I have an adventurer mind, I decided to leave my job last March to work in the sailing or diving industry (I have a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor certification also). I see myself as easy to live with (not sure of the formulation !), always in a good mood, and the lack of space and intimacy does not bother me. I love meeting new people and share new things.

Thanks for ready, and hopefully see you on the ocean !
