Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi, I'm Lire. I want to be your next crewmate. I love learning how to do new things. I love challenges. And I love fixing anything that needs it.
I would love to come aboard for next passage and help out where ever I can if you would be willing to share some of your hard-fought knowledge about sailing with me. As I get ready to make my dreams come true and move my family onto a boat, I'd love to learn as much as I can about passage making from another sailor. Hopefully I can teach you something in return!
I'm not a master sailor, but I have a 1000nm of offshore sailing experience as well as single handing a 44' cat, and a handful of smaller boats.
I'm comfortable doing any sort of mechanical, plumbing, electrical, or computer work you could imagine. I can cook and I'm very tidy and considerate. I'd love to get as much time as possible sailing, and I'm here to help as much as I can.
