Nationality: Australia
Currently based in: Road Town, Virgin Islands, British
Looking for: Caribbean; Central & North America;
Experience: 7500 ocean miles / 2000 coastal miles
I am a fun Aussie just landed in BVI after crewing on an 11 day straight passage from Annapolis MD. As I am here now I would like to spend more time sailing in this stunning area. I have no specific qualifications other than my RYC SSS and VHF licence, but have completed over 7500 ocean miles either racing or doing deliveries mainly on the East Coast of Australia. I would like to experience some relaxing cruising as opposed to getting smashed crewing from A to Z as fast as weather conditions permit and missing all the sights in between. I am a capable sailor able to stand watch alone, I am reliable, honest, not too bad in the galley, easy to get along with and keep a neat clean and tidy space above and below deck. I would love to join in on your adventure. Cheers and Happy Sailing
