| I am a nurse who grew up racing sailboats in Florida most of her life. Currently have some flexibility with my schedule and have enjoyed taking time off work to sail in the past. Hoping to find the right fit for a boat looking for crew! I am a competent sailor who is tidy, a decent cook, easy to get along with, and very positive/happy. I primarily race offshore on multihulls, but also have experience sailing from Florida to the Bahamas several times, as well as through French Polynesia (some blue water experience here). Super eager to continue traveling the world by sailboat and more than willing to pull some night-shifts and contribute to work as a team. Preference to boats that intend to stop along the way for a day or two and explore some of the areas we sail by. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoy hiking, kite boarding (amateur but eager to continue learning!), riding motorcycles, paddle boarding, and really anything outside. I speak English and am conversational in Spanish. | |
