| I’m counting down my 'before sailing' life on a plan to cruise the world with my wife from 2023. I’ve loved sailing since I was a teenager growing up in Dover and crewing on yachts across the Chanel. Between now and then I am in the process of formalising my experience and am keen to gain more wherever I can. I’m a good team player and fun to have onboard any vessel. I enjoy cooking and participating in all the boat chorse and repairs. Day Skipper qualified so far and am working towards my RYA yacht master qualification. | |
