Competent crew looking to go Westward from Nuku Hiva to Tahiti
I am ready to go now. (May 14, 2026)
UPDATE: May 14, 2026
So far this year, I’ve completed a trip down the east coast of United States, went thru the Panama canal, and the Pacific Puddle Jump. (5,000 nm total) I have just arrived in Nuku Hiva, and am looking to join as crew on a boat westward on my continuing journey around the world. Anything west will do, and would especially enjoy a trip to Tahiti for the July festivities.
I'm looking to join a new boat here in French Polynesia, and to have the opportunity to learn more from new captains, preferably on a catamaran this go around. I would especially love to do some diving while visiting these amazing places.
- END UPDATE -
I'm an A1 Audio Engineer, and spent a decade flying all over the US doing live production shows and events. I've done a lot of traveling... 500 flights and 1000 shows.
I'm kind of open to anything / anywhere, living the moto “when in doubt, do the thing that makes the better story”
Because of the time and effort it takes to find a new boat and captain, I’m looking to commit to longer voyages over shorter ones. So far I’ve crewed for the right captain on the wrong boat, the wrong captain on the right boat, and am still looking for that ace in the middle. I’m autodidactic (self taught) and am looking for a captain and crew that have a growth mindset. I enjoy both learning and teaching, and am looking for an environment of like minded people where I can thrive.
I'm mentally capable, mechanically inclined, eager to learn, and ready to apply my knowledge towards sailing. I've been a skater, martial arts instructor, rock climber, drifter (race cars), a DJ, sound engineer and small business owner.
I have open water scuba certification, and look to free dive, fish, cook, explore, hike, sail, and generally enjoy life. I can fund my own way, and have reserves. Over the last year I've put in considerable time, effort, and focus, all aimed towards positioning myself to comfortably step into the world for a time and do a sailing adventure.
I'm easy going, and have a good sense of humor with a healthy balance of seriousness. I like to challenge myself, and am never bored.
I want to enjoy my time on this planet, explore, have fun, and one day find myself having circled the globe.
A bit more about me:
I have funds to travel for the next few years, and for what it's worth, that's my goal.
I'm open to do small voyages first if that makes sense before committing to a longer journey, and I look forward to being part of a team and meeting new people. I’m traveling fairly light, and have everything I need.
I've given this lifestyle a lot of consideration over the years, and I believe my traveling experience will serve me well on this next adventure. While I'm ready for leisure and lazy days on a beach somewhere, I'm a bit of a mechanic, detailed oriented, and am ready to help keep your boat in good working order and do my part.
Let's talk, and let me hear why you're looking for crew, and see if i'm a good match!
looking forward to it :)
