| Hi there! My name is Livi (Olivia), I’m 22 years older and a LOVER of the ocean. I started sailing dinghies when I was 6 years old on the beautiful Norfolk Broads in the UK. I ventured out to sailing on the Devon coast over summer holidays, and have sailed in the beautiful med off Turkey too. When I was 20, our family bought a 44ft yacht which we keep in Dartmouth, UK. Since then I have gained my competent crew, and am preparing for my RYA Day Skipper this summer, I also gained my powerboat level 2 licence along the way. So far, I’ve experienced tough winds, huge waves and horizontal rain… which, was fun! But it makes the sunset sailing, dolphins dancing in the water, pink floyd on the speaker and gin and tonic in hand all the more enjoyable too. I’m keen to learn, motivated, fun and positive. I find it easy to remain calm in not so calm situations and just love adventures. If I sound like the crew mate for you, please reach out! I’ll be ready to sail from October 2022 - onwards Nautical Miles - 200NM Experience in tough weather Anchor skills Experience in marinas and trot moorings | |
