Experienced bluewater sailor/boat owner available for delivery crewing and friendship opportunites globally
Full-time owner/liveaboard on Passport 40. Currently building sea days/miles towards my USCG captain's license. Available for sailboat delivery crewing opportunities globally, and friendships. Ultimately I intend to become a charter captain once I get my license and after exploring the cruising lifestyle for a while. I am also looking for crew for my own boat and potentially a cruising partner. See my boat profile on here under SV Vita Nova.
Fully vaccinated. Solid experience with navigation, weather prediction, helming, radio communications, radar and marine electronics, sail trim, ground tackle, docking, keeping watch, watch planning, provisioning, MOB, boat safety, first aid, and tender ops. Excellent cook and deep knowledge of sailboat system maintenance and repair.
I come from a professional career in electrical engineering and manufacturing. Making a transition over to doing something that truly makes me happy. I have sold my home and most possessions to live out my dream. I happily embrace a minimalist cruiser lifestyle now.
I'm a non-smoker and would prefer to be with other non-smokers. I drink socially, but know my limits. I'm healthy and reasonably fit. Only addiction is coffee. I also play guitar and love music, although I'm a bit out of practice. Would enjoy crewing with other musicians so I could knock the rust off. I'm hoping to get PADI certified and enjoy most water sports. Also enjoy hiking and exploring. I have been a commercial multi-engine instrument pilot for 25 years although I've switched to sailing as my primary passion and have not flown for a few years.
I'm very down to earth and laid back and easy to get along with. I am an environmentalist, conservationist, and humanitarian and slowly leaning towards becoming a pescatarian or vegetarian, although I still eat meat and will prepare and eat pretty much anything as part of a crew.
I am open to meeting a lifelong sailing partner, but by no means is this a requirement for crewing. Nature will work its magic with the right woman if and when it's meant to be.
I don't normally state things like this, but I feel that I must under the current political climate in the USA. I am not a fan of Donald Trump and his cohorts or climate deniers. I am happy to allow people their own opinions, but I have no interest in working for, or crewing with Trump supporter(s), anti-vax or climate deniers. If this offends you I'm sorry, but I'm not right for your crew, nor are you the right fit for mine. If you feel the need to send a nasty email because of this, you are just proving my point.
