Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi there! My name is Joe and I've recently gotten into sailing over the last few years. I started out taking classes on small boats and then began some day sailing on monohauls in the San Diego harbor. In August of 2021, I lived on a 12 meter catamaran in La Paz, Mexico getting my ASA 101, 103, 104 and 114 certifications. From mid June through mid July 2023 I lived aboard two different 42 foot catamarans in Greece. During those weeks I took a passage across the Ionian sea and circled the entire south of the Peloponnese peninsula. One boat I spent the majority of the time alone with just the captain, while the other boat was shared and managed amongst 6 people with a broad range of experience and backgrounds.

I don't quite have the experience yet to skipper my own boat with confidence, but that's my next goal. I'm a laid back person with an optimist demeanor, good sense of humor, loads of travel stories, can cook, and know a good amount of card games. Over the coming years I want to sail and experience life onboard as much as possible while still managing my remote job. I've worked from the boat before and my laid back job allows for the flexibility needed when sailing.

You won't find a better companion with a will to contribute to all aspects of sailing and living onboard. I'd love to video chat sometime to better get to know each other and see if we have a good fit!
