Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Looking for time on the water, currently in Rockland ME. Day trips wonderful, Longer trips fantastic. Really want time offshore 10+ outside the shelf at night. Good listener, watch stander, team member, able bodied, handy with tools, motors, electrics, solar, plumbing, been up a mast or two, cleaning hull, prop, through hulls, etc. Recent experience on Benetau 379 furling mast and jib off Boston and Gloucester day trips great sailing. Have single handed a long while ago those were the days! Message or call, flexible timing.
