Hi, I have crossed the Atlantic from Gibraltar to Madeira and on to Gran Canaria 1000 miles. II have owned 2 yachts sailed one in the UK and one in Spain. I have RYA Coastal Skipper, Practical and Theory, ICC, VSRC, and been sailing for the past 17 years, some in the UK. I have charted a few bare boats, Hunter 45 and a Jeannua 43 in the BVI and a Mahe 40 Cat in Martinique. I am a qualified diesel mechanic, also know my way around electrical systems. I can also cook an average meal and most importantly a sense of humor. Thank you Cameron | |
