Dear Shipmates

Introduction

My long term sailing goal is to create regenerative expeditions at sea, connect positive impact projects, and facilitate sustainable slow travel under sail.

And of course invite crews on nature immersions in the Azores, right in the middle of the Atlantic Circuit. Pico is my Home Island.

On top of my sailing experience I bring over a decade of facilitation and media production.

- great at working with people - over a decade of professional experience as facilitator, coach, event host, and community builder in different contexts
- film, photography & multimedia graduate with extensive experience in video / photo production, podcasts, articles, newsletters
- positive vibe, relaxed personality
- fit and agile
- responds well in challenging situations
- quick learner
- good cook (with some mad dessert skills to delight your tastebuds)
- very good at documenting things

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

In a few years time I would like to live full time on a sailboat and until that time I want to build my sailing experience and confidence. Ideally, I would love to travel the world with a family and a small group of friends, while creating positive impact on the planet.

I love working with people and I am very good with optimising systems and workflows. Apart from sailing, I am interested in self-development, outdoor activities, sustainable living, community weaving, business development and journaling.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

seek adventurefulfill a dreamface challengesearn moneyfinding myselfgain experiencelearn to saillive off the gridsustainable traveltravel

I am currently studying at Enkhuizer Zeevaartschool to obtain my professional sailing license for commercial sailing vessels up to 500 tons. I also have an offshore skipper license, SRC RYA, and STCW.

I am looking to gain experience at sea, before buying my own boat one day. I’m particularly interested in passage planning, navigation and boat maintenance. I am eager to take part in various boat activities and help+learn in variety of areas.

I eat vegetarian / vegan, but let that not scare you. I’m happy with rice, beans, oats, dried fruits and basic veg and fruit. I eat simple and effective. I don’t mind being in a meat-eating environment and I am not planning on telling anyone how to live their lives (and I’m expecting the same). I’m an excellent cook and I’m more than happy to cook delicious and nutricious meals and desserts (fine dining dessert experiences at sea are my specialty). Just please don’t ask me to handle your meat, but I can do everything else.
