| I was a crew member racing out of Edgewater Yacht club on Lake Erie Cleveland Ohio for 6 years. I made five patrols on US Navy submarines. That comes to ten months or about 300 nights at sea (under water). I'm a cook and baker with handyman skills and an Eagle Scout .Have lived in community at the Lama Foundation. I play the guitar, harmonica a bit, drums and percussion instruments. I’m willing to pitch in and be a beneficial crew member. I can work in a group as well as alone. I like a team concept and sharing the load. I'm easygoing and like exploring the world and adventure.I'm willing to talk and if possible to meet beforehand to check out compatability. I crewed last fall and was offered a reference.We went from Newport Rhode Island to Sint Maarten via Bermuda and Anguilla. | |
