| Busy until September. Hi... I'm a Florida ex-pat living and working in the BVI, actively looking for work on deliveries, part-time, or temporary gigs, Well-rounded, seasoned, and worth my weight onboard. Happy to work as Mate / Crew or Skipper for you with USCG 100-ton Masters. Captain on monohulls & cats to 80’. Plenty of offshore experience on sailboats up to 90’ (also handy w/single & twin-screws). Good mechanical & electrical skills. Healthy and fit, steady and dependable, serious about safety, but I don't take MYSELF too seriously anymore.....I get the job done, and like to have fun while doing it. Great references available, too. Thanks for your interest! Cheers! Brian | |
