Hello, My PASSION is all things sailing! I love travelling and exploring on a boat. I love racing sailboats too. I am familiar with and very capable of the efficiency needed on a boat. I am very willing to assist in working on mechanical problems. I'm not afraid of hard work. I am a true lover of clean and am amazingly capable of maintaining a boat. I am an extremely accomplished chief and when dinner is ready, you would be hard-pressed to find any mess proving it was made. I raced for years then started cruising when I moved to the landlocked mountains. I've sailed in waters off the West coast of Canada and the US, Croatia, Turkey, Greece, BVI, other Caribbean islands and most recently spend 25 days on the hook in the Bahamas; Eleuthera and Exumas. Experiences from this website: I sailed from St Thomas to Bermuda and Malta to Sicily, most recently. I seek quality honest safe capable captains/crew to contact me for possible voyages. I am not interested to be in the company of people who can only find entertainment via drinking, I require more creative minds. All things in moderation, self-discipline is an honourable trait and can be achieved even on a sailboat. I prefer to avoid inappropriate or disrespectful behaviour. So kindly be honest and do not contact me if you have such tendencies or intentions. I have a CYA Basic Cruising Standard but honestly, I should have been allowed to take a more advanced course. I have raced/crewed in Antigua on a 63' and Cruised upward to 45'. I hold both a US and Canadian passport | |
