| Experience: | 2000 ocean miles / 20000 coastal miles |
| I'm funny, confident, outgoing, and grrrrrrrrrrrreat company! I love anything water, sailing, scuba, snorkel, swim, you name it! I've been sailing for 10 years, with the past 5 years as chef/ first mate on sailing catamarans and most recently on the dark side haha, a motor yacht! I'm not the most experienced sailor however, I have been in, and seen some situations over the years! I've done a fair bit of of coastal sailing and I have my day skipper licence. I was crew/ watchkeeper/ chef on a round trip between BVI and Bermuda. I'm great on deck and equally talented at provisioning, cooking, and cleaning. I'm hard-working, energetic and also laid back and have travelled far and wide, love to share life stories. My bucket list includes an ocean-crossing, the Panama Canal, Galapagos Islands, Bora Bora, and just about anything adventurous. I want to do as much as I can in the next 2 years before I have to settle into being a grandma (can't wait for that either!). Sooooooooooo if you're looking for someone who's fun but level-headed and easy going, I'm here looking for my next adventure! Other skills; PADI Diver - Advanced Open Water, Charter Chef, Secondary school teacher of Computing and Business, Special Needs teacher (all subjects), Brownie Group Leader, Trained Nail Technician (mani/ pedi/ nail art). | |
