Giving this one last shot on FAC. I would like to join a boat that cruises in Temperate & Cooler Climates (not Tropical). Looking for an Organized, Patient, Knowledgeable, Kind Captain with a Super Safe Boat who enjoys teaching, since I am still a novice. I grew up lake sailing in the US as a camp counselor in Vermont. During my Jr. year of college in Barcelona, I lived and sailed on a 25 ft. wooden sailboat in the Spanish Mediterranean with French crew. I got a delicious taste of being part of an international sailing community, and had some amazing experiences. Since then I have lived and worked on various boats in the US and Fiji. I've led an "off the beaten path" kind of life, and am looking forward to the unimaginable horizon ahead. I'm a keen maritime student, a strong and confident communicator, humorous, creative, passionate and super organized. I treat others as I would like to be treated - with warmth, kindness and RESPECT. I speak my mind, follow my heart and am always looking for ways to make life more fulfilling and fun! I'm a bit of a Bohemian (raised as an artsy child of the 60's & 70's), a bit glam (Mom was a singer in B'way musicals), and a bit tomboy (volunteered for a month at a remote Dog Sledding camp in Alaska, learned to "Mush" and helped care for 56 Sled Dogs.) I can be quite social (but love "quiet time"), a creative cook & excellent provisioner (enjoy wine and the occasional cocktail), speak Spanish, some French/Italian, adore nature & animals, swimming in the ocean/playing in the surf, foreign languages & cultures, eclectic music & art (was a film major, worked in the biz & currently a Musicians' Rep), twisted comedy (raised on Monty Python), and exploring the mysteries of the universe (a life-long student of metaphysics.) The through-line in my life has been teaching ESL internationally - Spain, Korea, Jordan, Argentina, Italy & Russia. Ideally, I am seeking a long-term live aboard situation. Thanks for reading!
