Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Retired Pilot, Aircraft Mechanic and Jet Engine Mechanic with an open schedule looking for trips on a variety of boats to gain experience and eventually buy my own boat.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

clean & tidyeasy-goingfit & healthyorganisedrespectfulskilledtrustworthyconfident swimmerrarely/unlikely seasickno tattoos at alltravel light (little luggage)eager to learn & workpoliteperfectionistcan pay own expensesavailable on my ownready to partyenjoy cookingdon't mind cleaningcan follow ordersenjoy teachingbuy my own boat one day

As a pilot transitioning from airplanes to boats has been a breeze. Troubleshooting, maintenance and repairs comes naturally. Navigation is much easier at 6 knots vs 600 knots. Getting around weather is a little trickier.

I did a two year tour in the U.S. Embassy Yerevan, Armenia as the Bilateral Affairs Officer and was an accredited diplomat. Which means I can speak intelligently and use my big words but I'm more creative with four letter words.

I'm a pretty good cook, do a lot of road and mountain bike riding, hiking, camping, fly fishing, kayaking, wood working, (I've built 5 wooden kayaks), I'm basic scuba certified, and would like to get back into rock climbing.

I'm just looking to get out on the water and continue to explore the world from a different vantage point.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

visit remote placesseek adventuregain experiencetravel

Before I buy a boat I want to get an idea of what boat life is really like. I don't mind the less glamorous trips or getting my hands dirty with projects, repairs and trouble shooting. I prefer helping short handed crews with longer passages and deliveries on a variety of boats.
