| I have little sailing experience and am looking to crew to remedy that. I hold ASA certifications up to 104 (bare boat) and have a basic understanding of of sailing and sailboat systems. I'm willing to contribute financially to help offset my lack of experience. I'm 49 and in good shape. No medical issues. I'm very easy going and motivated and get along well with just about everybody I meet. I'm willing to do difficult jobs in exchange for quality instruction and experience. I welcome friendships, but I'm not looking for a partner. I'm happily married. I'm not particular about the gender of the captain/crew. My long term goal is to own my own boat and to make lengthy passages and possibly circumnavigate. | |
