| Hello. I’m from Channel Islands UK, so plenty of opportunity to get on the water. I am looking to crew on ARC type voyage, or independent voyage.... I’ve had limited sailing experience, though am now RYA Day and Coastal skipper qualified. Have skippered 40ft monohull for two weeks sailing Greek Ionian Islands. However, have had many years motor boating (shock horror!🥴) in channel islands and adjacent French coast waters (one of biggest tidal ranges in world!). Im physically fit and healthy, and friends describe me as sociable, very easy going, with no unhealthy habits! I’m am responsible with mature outlook, though do like a relaxed and happy environment. Safety at sea comes first. I like my food, and will eat pretty much anything, and like the odd beer or glass of wine when appropriate. Non-smoker. Not looking for a ‘racing’ experience....prefer to take in the world as I pass through it. Hope this helps (felt a little like a dating offer!😂) | |
