Looking for: | Worldwide opportunities |
Experience: | 100 ocean miles / 0 coastal miles |
I'm looking to crew on an Atlantic crossing, sailing from the coast of Spain or the Canaries westwards towards either the Caribbean or Brazil, with a possible stop over on the Cape Verde islands. Preferred departure date after January 10, 2019. I'm looking for a boat with good people, who are respectful of the environment and willing to share their knowledge of sailing and the ocean. Trained as an architect, I worked in Switzerland for the past few years. I have just a little sailing experience, but grew up near the ocean and am willing to learn. I can cook, I'm easy-going and I've just started playing the guitar. I am not looking for a luxury holiday, but for adventure and experiences. | |
