Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Dear Shipmates,

These days I'm sailing commercially on a ~2 month on/off rotation.

In my off time I enjoy sailing for fun; cruising, deliveries, relief work, sailing lessons, boat minding, etc.

I have extensive experience in recreational sailing, yachting, diving, hospitality, and shipyard work.

Send a message for availability. Look forward to sailing with you!

Cheers,
James
