Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi I’m Shane, currently living off grid on Flinders Island in Bass Strait, Tasmania. I’ve spent most of my life around, on or in the ocean… boating, snorkeling, freediving, scuba, and fishing. I’m an avid spearo and fisher that can quite happily live off seafood, and love to catch and cook.

I’ve always been self employed and have enjoyed the freedom living day to day for the past 15 years. After spending time van lifeing and traveling East Coast over the past few years, I’m now searching for the ocean adventure that will further my passion for the underwater world.

A lifelong learner, a great listener, teachable and hard working, I love the simple things in life and the connection with good people and all things nature.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I’m hoping to meet some great people in the coming years, both friends and mentors, sharing many adventures, and gaining life long experiences sailing.

I’m starting a new chapter in life with the ultimate dream of one day owning and living aboard my own catamaran to continue making new friends, and finding amazing places, reefs and oceans to explore.
