Capable Crewmember for Deliveries, Crossings, Pleasure Voyages
Continually building my sailing expertise and moving into this as a profession. I belong to a sailing club in the Chesapeake Bay region but semi-recently moved to Puerto Rico and am thrilled to be next to the ocean every day. Working toward a Captain's License and pivoting to nautical professions. Always eager to learn. Happy to link up with folks sailing around Puerto Rico or nearby Caribbean, and also looking to join a crossing, longer sail, or great international opportunity at present.
-3,500+ nm sailed in the last 6 months
-ASA Instructor for 101, 103 (and 104)
-Safety at Sea Course / Solid knowledge of COLREGS
-Sailing Instructor (D-Qual) for the U.S. Naval Academy
I'm calm, a great communicator, highly educated, a fast leaner, and physically capable. Experienced with deliveries and night shifts. Never been seasick or late to a watch. Until recently, I worked in international relations and finance. I'm also an actively licensed bartender and have worked most positions in the restaurant industry (including cook). Adept and active snorkeler, novice spear fisher, and very proficient underwater; becoming ever more proficient on top of it.
Happy to discuss myself further and how I might fit well within your crew.
