| My partner and I are looking to sail together and gain sea time experience Creative and social teacher/software engineer combo ICC coastal waters certificate and currently pursuing VHF radio certification here in The Netherlands. We will both get our RYA certifications this summer (2022). I worked on commercial fishing vessels in Alaska for 9+ years. I love the sea and am quite boat savvy - a clean boat is a happy boat ;) We're just finishing the 100% self-build of our tiny house to live more simply, freely, beautifully. Nomads, expats, adventure-seekers so a live-on sail boat is our future dream. We'd love to come and crew on your boat for short and/or long passages. Open to any arrangements as long as it's kind, reciprocal, and safe. | |
