Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Looking to expand my sailing experiences aboard, particulary Carribean Waters.
During the past 6 months I have crewed on numerous yachts up and down the East coast of Australia. About 3000nm in total.
I have owned a small trailable yacht for 20 years and sailed the Whitsundays numerous times aboard it.
I am fit, non smoker, non drinker, no dietry requirements, never been sea sick, and available to sail with a days advance notice.
Love humour, comedy and clever wit. Easy going, never show signs of stress, non argumentive personality.
Technical/ mechanical background, can fix/resolve most problems encountered and enjoy a challenge.
Cpr compliant with 50 yearly courses completed.
I look forward to the possibility of becoming a valuable crewing asset aboard your yacht in the near future.
Fair winds my friend.
Regards
Ian
