Hello everyone, originally from Scotland I have lived around the world and currently based in Thailand, but next year who knows! I am in Europe for about 4 months each summer. At the moment I am still working remotely but it takes up quite a bit of my time. I am looking in the next 18 months for short trips only for about 2 weeks at a time and I hope after that to be more free-flow and commit to longer trips. I am currently in Australia and was supposed to be sailing two weeks in Northern Queensland but it just fell through so I am looking to see if anything else might pop u. I will be in Europe later in the year and and keen to do some sailing during that time.

I am a pretty laid back personality, but I like things to be done properly and I like to have mutual respect. When I am on a boat I am there to help out the best and also to enjoy myself.

I joined this site sincerely to investigate opportunities for now and for the future. I'm hoping to build my competence and confidence in boat handling. Most of my experience has been in dinghies and then day sailing/racing in yachts. I've done only 5 12 - 14 day trips with experienced skippers (boat owners) coastal and island. I have completed competent crew and bareboat skipper courses, but I find that I do better learning in practice. I have no ambitions to be the skipper and am a happy and competent crew member although still learning some technicalities. I love food prep, am really happy in the galley, and considered to be a good cook! I'm also very happy scrubbing decks (yes, I know a bit strange but it is true!). I'm really happy on board as long as expectations and agreements are clear. I prefer to have a private sleeping space. I have no ocean crossing experience and I feel that I would want to know more and also know the people involved before contemplating that in the future. It could be nice to meet a partner this way and I am open to that, but it is not a mission of mine at the moment. Maybe I might become confident enough just to live on my own boat instead ;)
