Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hello there,
I currently work in the offshore wind industry on a 2 week on/off rotation thus have plenty of spare time. I'm interested in getting some miles under my belt.

Ex merchant navy engineer so not adverse to picking up the tools and fixing up any problems onboard.

I would like to think I'm a warm, caring person with a can do attitude, willingness to learn and a tremendous passion for life, always looking at the positive.

My hobbies and interests are photography and archery but above all comes motorbikes, I have a Kawasaki VN900C which I have just toured France and Spain on. I also have my open water scuba but unfortunately don't get out in the water as much as I would like to.

If you think I could be an decent addition to your crew, don't hesitate to reach out.
James
