| Hi, my name is Mees and i'm a 25 year resident of Amsterdam. I’ve just completed my Master’s degree in Freshwater and Marine Biology. While I’m passionate about the marine world and eager to make a meaningful impact, my ambitions lie beyond traditional research roles. At the end of this year, I want to go on a great trip. It would be amazing to participate in the ARC Transatlantic 2024. After this trip, I would love to continue backpacking in South America. During the atlantic crossing, I would like to actively participate as a crew member on board. Additionally, I would like to contribute on board by cooking and sharing my aquatic knowledge. I have no experience with ocean sailing, but I have been sailing my whole life. I started in the Optimist and progressed to the Laser Standard. In this boat, I have sailed many races, and besides that, I have really enjoyed teaching sailing to young children in the Optimist in my spare time. Besides sailing, I keep busy with sports like football and fitness, and I make a living as a bartender. Feel free to send me a message if you'd like to learn more about me! Best regards, Mees Beaumont | |
