Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi there

I'm looking for a passage from Europe to the Caribbean from October to December 2024. After a few hundred miles and the theoretical SYA-Exam for Offshore Yachting i wanna build expierience and contribute as much as i can.
I do have a little experience night sailing and watchkeeping.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

clean & tidycommitteddiscreeteasy-goingenthusiasticfit & healthyfriendlyorganisedrespectfulskilledtrustworthyconfident swimmergood listenergood communicatorno body piercingsno facial piercingsno tattoos at alltravel light (little luggage)eager to learn & workpoliteopen mindedsense of humorcan pay own expensesavailable on my owndon't mind cleaninggood with maintenancecan follow ordersenjoy teachinginterpretingbuy my own boat one daylive on little money

I am a primary school teacher and I can contribute to expenses and tasks on the boat, cook one or another meal, am a kitesurfing instructor, SSI advanced diver, acrobatic paraglider, have experience working on/with dinghies, am good with languages, trustworthy, loyal, have lived and worked in different countries, a quick learner, like deep conversations and i'm sure i can be help- and useful in many ways on your boat.

While i have quite a fair amount of holidays, I am looking forward to learn from experienced sailors this summer from mid july to mid august. Preferably around Europe, but i will happily consider flying to the carribean or asia.
