| Hi Sailors! Seeking sunny, adventurous spirits to share world travel adventures. I cook, am very clean and organized, speak 4 languages. Extremely fit, (yoga, running, swimming, biking, hiking, kayaking). Inspired by those living the dream... Inspired by Youtubers on Vagabonde, Delos, Uma, Ruby Rose and others...Hard workers, great camaraderie and teamwork on board, and loving every minute of exploring the big blue! I've crewed charters in Miami and deliveries of sailboats and catamarans in Florida, down the US East Coast, in the Bahamas, and in the Med. I haven’t been on a racing boat and don’t thrive on battling the elements, though have experience in rough conditions. I definitely prefer warmer climates…jumping off for a swim is heaven! Happy to sail with a seasoned captain willing to help me improve my skills, an even-tempered, respectful gentleman, and fun travel companions and conversationalists (with a healthy balance of quiet times). I can follow clear instructions, and eager to learn more about sailing from good teachers. Most of all, looking to share experiences and the good company of like-minded adventurers. I love experiencing different cultures and cuisines, new ways of thinking and doing, and living life to the fullest! Have been on a couple dives (up to 40’) but not certified. Completing a First Aid/CPR/AED course at the moment. | |
