Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi there, I’m looking for a boat for the next leg of my adventure from Tahiti to the East. It’s my goal to eventually make it to Australia.

Experience:
~ 700nm coastal in 5 months, as first mate, chef and host on a 50 feet Benneteau Cyclade in San Blas, Panama
~ 4000nm offshore in 3 months, as crew on a 48 feet Halberg-Rassy. Crossing from Panama to Tahiti making stops in Marquises and Tuamotus.

Last year I decided to travel the world while reigniting my passion for sailing. So far it’s been an amazing journey, bringing me all the way to Polynesia, where I’m now meeting family and exploring the Islands and culture, while learning lots about sailing and life aboard.

I can help out with everything on board, am easy going, like surf, spearfish, go on adventures and relax hard to keep it balanced!

Hope to speak soon!
