Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi Shipmates,
It would be a wonderful thing to jump aboard and just go sailing. I am easy going, honest dependable, reliable and resilient. Sailing up and down Australia, Queensland Coast, diving on various wonderful coral atolls along the The Great Barrier Reef is where I gained my love for the sea.
Nowadays I am happy to say I am an experienced and competent crew member with an eye for detail and enjoy keeping up with helping out with the ample maintenance programs on boats. The purchasing of stores and supplies before extended voyages match my excellent culinary skills at sea. Like to cook and delight others with yummy food.
In the last four months I have achieved crewing in four ocean passages the first from Opua, New Zealand to Fiji, then Fiji to South Port Gold Coast Australia. October I crewed as caterer/cook/watch-keeper on a fast Danish mono-hull yacht from Fiji to Vanuatu Port Vila to Bundaberg QLD Australia.
I loved every minute. If you think I could be part of your crew do reach out lets see if my next voyage is with you on your boat. :)
PS although I highlighted "would consider romance" this is not my goal. Thank you.
