I am a 64-year-old musician and English teacher (I run my own language school). I am slim, fit, and adaptable. I grew up in Cape Town and now live in Vienna. I can cook, work with tools and I’m a good team player, willing to learn and take orders from a competent skipper. I love the sea and would like to spend some more time sailing. I play the guitar and sing well and enjoy it! I speak four languages and have extensive experience as a language teacher too. I am retiring at the end of August 2023 and will be available anywhere to crew as long as is necessary. | |
