Top-Notch Crew!
I had the pleasure of sailing with Ana and J-S aboard my Lillian V sailing boat (42-foot catamaran) as we made the journey from Belize to Honduras, including an overnight passage, covering a total of 200 nautical miles. Both Ana and J-S are incredibly hands-on and proactive, tackling any challenges that came our way. One of the highlights of our trip was when we ran into engine trouble; they jumped right in and helped with troubleshooting, displaying knowledge and problem-solving skills. Their ability to work efficiently and as a team was essential during that time. In addition to their strong seamanship skills, they are both incredibly hardworking and contributed to every aspect of the voyage, from navigation to sail handling and everything in between. They kept the boat organized and well-maintained, always ensuring everything was in its proper place, which contributed to a smooth and safe journey. They also prepared delicious vegetarian meals that were both nutritious and tasty, keeping the crew well-fed and energized for the long passage. I would highly recommend Ana and J-S to anyone looking for dependable, capable, and safety-oriented crew members. They bring energy, expertise, and a strong work ethic to the table, and I would happily sail with them again any day!
