Looking to sail between Dec. 5th and 19th out of Colón Island, Bocas del Toro. Preferably crewing for a multi day cruise around the archipelago. I am an adventurous person looking to open a new chapter in life. I love spending time outdoors skiing, climbing, hiking, surfing, biking, rafting, and biking. Freedom to roam and experience nature is what I need. Naturally, I am drawn to the ocean and sailing. My experiences relevant to sailing include BK1 (the first half of ASA 101), 40 hours as a deckhand aboard a motor vessel, 100+ hours on ropes rock climbing, using GPS hiking on and off trail, assessing risk skiing in big mountain terrain with avalanche hazard, tracking weather, forecasting weather window opportunities to travel, 6 seasons ski patrol performing first aid, and provisioning food and supplies for a group of six over ten days.

I plan to own a boat and I wish to discover if this is right for me and how I might go about doing this. Before investing more into this dream I want to learn from others and share experience.
