Eager, hardworking, smart, and competent young man for any experience sailing that is available. My family had a 30' Catalina monohaul as a kid that we would sail on the Chesapeake bay and I have since owned my own 17 foot daysailer. I also sailed on the team at my undergraduate university, but I am keen to get out on a "real" boat again. I am a good cook and have no problem cooking and cleaning. I can certainly help with any kitchen or general maintenance on the boat- in fact i'm eager to actually! I am also a fisherman so I can dress and fillet fish if need be. I like to free dive and scuba dive as well. Lastly, I recently finished my masters degree and am currently studying full time - so there are no hang ups or other commitments I have to concentrate on while I am out on a passage. Look forward to hearing from you! | |
