Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hello fellow sailors. I'm a retired electrical engineer, married, and father of two teens with a love for sailing. I have an ASA104 certification and I'm looking for milage-building opportunities around the world on mono and multihull sailing vessels. I'm a competent crew member able to hold night watches.
I have a hands-on attitude and I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty and not useless in the galley.
I'm easygoing and chill as my daughter likes to say and I enjoy meeting interesting people, seeing new places and experiencing new foods.
I'm physically fit and ready for a new adventure. If you need a reliable and friendly crew member for your next trip, please contact me. I'm flexible with dates and destinations, and happy to share costs. I hope to hear from you soon and join you on your sailing journey.
