| I am a 55 yr old Electrician, with some ‘competent crew’ experience, albeit a good few years ago…(20odd) I have done a couple of villa/flotilla trips but since then, pretty much only ‘Hobie Cats’ on holiday…… Pretty relaxed and easy going fella and, would like to think, easy to ‘tick’ along with… with like minded folks…! Still fit and active and like mucking in…….And Being on the Sea, in fact my Mrs and I intend to relocate to the Caribbean in a few years with the strong idea of having our own sailboat to travel around in. So I’m keen to learn and experience as much as I can. Very practical and good with my hands, I am also looking into a crossover training with British Marine Electronics to make myself a bit more useful on the boat. | |
