I have worked as a Industrial Arts teacher, a Qantas international flight attendant and as a Real Estate principaI.
These varied careers would suggest that I am an adaptable person.
My friends tell me I'm friendly, trustworthy, optimistic and adventurous.
Being happily married with two children and two grandchildren enriches my life.
I eat a healthy diet of protein, vegetables, salads and fruit and love an occasional sweet, baked treat or chocolate. Fish is a definite favourite meal and I hope to get better at catching them.
Staying mentally and physical agile is a constant goal for me.
I strive to play competitive bridge well and exercise daily.

Happy to crew for a week or two, but I am looking for a long term cruising position if we have a fit.
Asia or other countries are acceptable to me.
I am always aware I am a guest on my skipper's boat and am respectful of him.
I find it it very satisfying to feel the wind pick up, trim the sails and see the boat sailing well
Sharing the work, night watches and cooking come naturally to me.
I am a part owner of an Beneteau Oceanis 40 berthed in Sydney Harbour.
I'm happy to fly to your boat at my cost.
