Team status

Just me, I'm not bringing any crewmates

Currently navigating between the UK and France. Setting sail at the end of January for the Caribbean, with an open itinerary from the British Virgin Islands to Trinidad and Tobago. Planning to reach Trinidad by late February or early March.

I have participated in several races with the BMYC and recently completed a 700nm offshore journey on a Contest Boat, sailing from A Coruña to Porto Santo, earning high praise from my captain.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

committeddiligenteasy-goingenthusiasticfriendlyrespectfultrustworthygood listenergood communicatorno facial piercingseager to learn & workpolitesense of humorcan pay own expensesdon't mind cleaningcan follow orderslive on little money

I adapt quickly to different watch systems and excel in responding to clear orders. I have a keen sense of situational awareness, can cook below deck, and rarely get seasick. With a positive attitude, I find creative solutions to any problem. Naturally adept at networking and languages, I am always eager to lend a helping hand and ready to assist with whatever is needed.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

I try to find other ways of traveling. Passionate about sailing, I've fallen in love with the ocean and seek more opportunities to explore it. If I can earn money along the way all the better. Otherwise depending on how your bat works I am happy to contribute.
