Watch: Sailing max 50 knots in the North Pacific / Oregon Coast!
Looking for Chef or Cook/Stew position, Delivery Crew & I love Night Watchs (OCT/NOV 26)
Aloha: this is my 4th time in Crewbay. In my first one I met Grateful and Capitan Duane and with them I sailed from Mallorca to Lanzarote Island in the Canaries. In the second one, I met Joyvela and sailed with Captain Peter, family and crew from Galapagos to Vancouver Island in Canada. Now I am onboard Carpathia, a starting a sailboat trip from Costa Rica, stopping in Galapagos and going later to Marquesas Islands.
Thanks to all the Captains and all the working invitations for this season but once I finish this crossing I will be back to Europe to work on land in a Restaurant for the summer season. Back to the water in October/November.
I'm absolutely interested in finding a new position working as a Chef -Cook/Stew, Night Watchs &/or Delivery Crew. I will be ready to jump again in your sailboat to any other part of this Planet Water as the summer season ends in France.
I'm looking forward to meeting some new people and learn from you.
I finished doing my Coastal Skipper course in Pasaia Eskola (Basque Country https://pasaiaeskola.hezkuntza.net/es/inicio1 ).
Searching for a sailing vessel to validate my COASTAL SKIPPER LICENSE, so I am ready to fly anywhere if the opportunity and challenge is an upgrade of what I have done until now.
I have been training in a small 25´ sailboat since 2020.
Never got seasick, in 2006 we made a surf expedition to the Selvagems islands in Portugal.
From 8 crew, only the captain and me stayed 100% in shape.
I have been doing all kind of watersports, specially designing (for more than 25 years as a tourism and water sports technician) various methods of dissemination, promotion and teaching of surf, sup and outrigger canoe (in salt and fresh waters).
I have specialized in Leisure, Culture and Gastronomy.
And now I want to expand my knowledge at Sea.
For 15 years I have been in charge of the technical direction of the first Stand Up Paddle club of Donostia-San Sebastian that we have transformed into a sailing, swimming, and everything related to life at sea club now based in Getaria/ Basque Country.
I am ready to be under the orders of a Captain who wants to train me for Yacht Master and embark on my first Atlantic crossing. Also ready to meet a new crew and be a good team player. Guess that after going north in the Pacific I have learned something that I can also share…

Grateful first mate
