Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi, I'm Ben. I am 29 years old, from Maine and have grown up sailing along the coast here in this beautiful state.
I learned to sail on my family's old 44' Adlen yawl.
Since then I have sailed & crewed a variety of old (and new) sail and powerboats. I have several years of maintenance experience from working at marina's and restoration shops (including my family's small shop).
I am looking to expand my skills, embark on new adventures and be a valuable crew member. I am level headed, love to connect with others, enjoy quiet time to myself, and am always looking to learn something new.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I am easy going, laid back, very easy to work with and keep a level head in challenging times. I'm open to new people, experiences and adventures. Apart from loving to sail, I enjoy reading, making artwork, and riding my motorcycle.
