Ref 39881
| Nationality: | Ireland |
| Currently based in: | Drogheda, Ireland |
| Looking for: | Worldwide opportunities |
| Experience: | 1100 ocean miles / 2300 coastal miles |
| I am a 53 years old Irish citizen, born and graduated in Ukraine; power engineer and construction manager by profession. Fond of travelling, learning, meeting new people and different cultures. Always loving the ocean, was too busy to start discovering. With added age, found time is limited and life is much more than career, so, need to hurry up.. Plan to get more ocean experience, being ready to execute all duties at my best knowledge and passion. I'm in normal physical condition, still being good skier and tennis player. Well educated, broad looking, reliable companion with decent sailing experience. In the ocean, my additional value could be an engineering approach, ability to cook well, first aid skills and sense of humor. Can describe myself as friendly, honest, non-conflict, a bit of philosophic person. Hoping for an opportunity to see the world, find friends and, maybe, change the occupation one day. Holder of Irish Day skipper certificate. | |
