| I have sailed as a student a few times, including multiple overnight coastal trips with watch duty and done well. Finished my ASA 101 and got my certification but have never had a lot of time to spend consistently engaged in sailing. My children are more independent now and I'm looking to return. I am active, fit, a quick learner and calm under stress. Interested in relatively short 1-2 week duration crew opportunities at this point. | |
