Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Until recently, I worked in CTO/CIO/Security roles. I am now taking a work break to spend a few months sailing.
I surf, train regularly, enjoy keeping fit and love being in and on the water. I am an advanced PADI diver.

Most recent passages:
- 5 days - Mooloolaba, QLD to Sydney, NSW (October 2024)
- 4 days - Fiji to Vanuatu (September 2024)
- 7 days - Pittwater to Hervey Bay (including a night-time navigation of the Sandy Straits)
- 10 days - Australia to New Zealand

I am looking to have fun sailing, meet new people, learn as much as possible from seasoned skippers and complete my RYA Yachtmaster 'Offshore'

I recently completed the two day ‘AS/ISAF Offshore Safety and Sea Survival’ course and I’m kicking myself for not having completed this sooner!

I'm fit, easy going, clean, tidy, hard working and well travelled. I play a basic level of acoustic guitar, love coffee, love seafood, read a lot and eat and drink anything.

I have driven across the USA a few times, the East coast of Australia and through Mexico, as well as motorbiked a bit in India and scuba dived all over the World.

Now it's sailing time :)

I surf, train regularly, enjoy keeping fit and love sailing.
