| Experience: | 0 ocean miles / 0 coastal miles |
| I am new to the sailing world but I am a very fast practical learner, I can watch someone do something and am usually able to repeat it within a short time. I would like to make a career at sea. My grandfather was a sailor and skipper and I want to follow in his footsteps. My dream is to get a boat of my own one day and sail around the world, taking on crew and passing on knowledge I hope to gain now by working as crew. My work experience mostly as a wood fired pizza chef, traditional stone building, and some carpentry. I appreciate hard work and deep skills. I'm passionate about the outdoors and love to live with nature, with living on the ocean being the ideal version of this lifestyle to me. I hope to hear from you soon. Cheers, Jack | |
