Hi! I have some experience sailing and grew up around boats; I make a great deck hand( people say Im more competent than I let on but it has been a 2 yrs since I've sailed). Ideally it would be a paid position but I know I might have to pay for my travels too. My experience as an outdoor educator is a huge asset, having taught mountaineering, climbing, rafting, sailing, sea kayaking and in the futre, hopefully diving. The last few years I've been helping family out and getting lost with the conventional ideas of what life is; it turns out I love exploring, adventure and all things water. Instead of resisting my true nature, I'm learning to live a life on my terms. Right now I'm 37, a young 37 and hope to become skilled as a Marine Tech and get my captains license to live a life sailing, diving, and surfing while supporting myself and doing conservation work along the way. As of Nov 1st my plans are open and looking for sailing opportunites as well as school for Scientific Diving in January 2022. If, you have a crew position available and think I would be a good fit, reach out! I'm looking to build miles and skills on the water. | |
