| I'm married with three grown up children, I took my Day Skipper license in 2008 but have done very little sailing as a skipper but spent quite a bit of time on boats and in that environment diving. Just returned from working as crew on a delivery of a Lagoon 46 from La Rochelle to Lavrio Greece, sailing over 2000 miles and taking night watches. I am quite mechanically minded as I started my working life as a mechanic. I am easy to get along with, have a good sense of humour and difficult to offend. I have an Advanced Open water diver qualification, very fit and hard working. Very tidy and organised and whilst what I know could fill a book, i'm aware that what I don't know could fill a library. On the downside i'll be perfectly honest and say i'm not much of a cook but happy to learn and I can open a tin as well as anybody. If there is anything you want to know, please ask. | |
