Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I am a positive, self motivated, friendly middle aged male with a love of water and the ocean. I love helping where i can, and enjoy sharing time a stories with others. I have an engineering background with experience repairing/replacing engines, gearboxes, doing fibreglassing, boatbuilding, woodwork, welding, metalwork, plumbing electrical, CAD designing various items and construction of houses, motorhomes etc. I have been a scout leader training youth on sailing and other outdoor activities. I prefer warmer weather, and am looking for adventure and fun, while learning to sail/motor offshore on larger craft.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I love water based activities such as waterskiing/scurfing, windsurfing, surfing, scuba diving, freediving, spearfishing, line fishing etc. I have been abseiling, rock climbing, tree climbing etc. Happy to take on any task required on the boat.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

seek adventurefulfill a dreamface challengesgain experiencetravel

I have been sailing small boats since my sea scout days in my early teens, and have always owned boats of various sorts from canoes up to 26ft trailer yachts. I am looking to gain experience offshore sailing, initially on Australia's east coast for some short trips up to 3 weeks, and later plan to take on longer trips.
