Hello! My name is John, I fell in love with sailing about 5/6 years ago where we made a passage from Seattle Washington to Panama. At sea became one of my favorite places to be, although every now and then I have to visit mountains. It's been awhile since I've been living on a boat but this summer I did complete a course where I finished the IYT yacht masters certificate, and the VHF. I have travelled enough to know the advantage of traveling light. I consider myself very adaptable and easy going. I enjoy a good time but also enjoy hard work when it's time to get stuff done. I enjoy being part of a team, spending time in nature, being part of a team and learning new things, also having new experiences. I'm not exactly the best about writing about myself, I find its better to get to know people in person. | |
