Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi! My name is Char and I'm looking to build on my sailing/boating skills and share an adventure on the water.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

clean & tidyeasy-goingenthusiasticfit & healthyfriendlytrustworthyconfident swimmergood listenergood communicatoreager to learn & workpoliteopen mindedsense of humorenjoy cookingdon't mind cleaningcan follow ordersenjoy teachinglearn a language

My hope is to gain experience sailing cruising the Caribbean in the winter 2025, to then be a valuable crew to assist with an West to East Atlantic crossing in the spring of 2025 (departing from anywhere). But this is flexible- I'm open to other possibilities as well. I bring positive energy and enthusiasm!

I currently work as a researcher in the natural sciences, and am looking for some cool experiences before hopefully heading back to school next fall. I study food and agriculture, so I am a certified plant and soil nerd, who loves to cook, try new things, and play music. I'm also an experienced traveller with an open mind, and I can get along with pretty much everyone.

Please contact me if I sound like someone you could have on board :)

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

share experienceseek adventureface challengesgain experiencelearn to sailsustainable travel

I love travel, and am looking to explore alternative ways to see the world. Having grown up in a gorgeous city on the west coast of Canada, I'd also love to build on my current sailing abilities (dinghy sailing only) to one day explore my home in a new way.
