Coastal sailing, east coast australia for experience. Then South Pacific..
I sailed regularly in my twenties with my family. 20 foot sailer.Even so, I concider myself a novice. My aim is to become a proficient crew member in as short a time as possible, with regular if not daily sailing.
MY REQUIREMENTS:
- non-smoker captain and crew
boat crew profile:
I have been a soil consultant now semi-retired. When I arrived in Cairns in 2020, I was vigorously fit. I was managing a 100 acres eco beach farm. Farm maintenance kept me fit in the sunshine and outdoors. I loved it.
I have a sense of humour and would like to crew for a captain with same, plus clear communication and adequate interest in teaching once i have demonstrated that i can follow orders.
HOW MIGHT MARION ASSIST YOU?
i enjoy making fresh food, soups and smoothies;
i am multi-skilled and experienced and creative, can assist with a wide variety of tasks to lend a hand
i am self-contained, i do not need entertaining. i can take the initiative, can create solutions, can see the big picture as well as the tiny detail.
Kindness, making alone time for myself, cleanliness is important to me.
UPDATE
I recently discovered -Aug 2022 - a mould infestation right under the floorboards where i sleep.
My conclusion is that this is what has been causing a steadily decrease in by energy and fitness over the last two years. All during that time, I have been wanting to go sailing, yet my decreasing fitness was preventing me. Since the mould is gone, my energy has definitely increased, I am looking once again for a crewing opportunity.
A little about myself:
confident swimmer, rarely/unlikely seasick, no body piercings, no tattoos at all, travel light (little luggage), clean & tidy, eager to learn & work, fit & healthy, discreet, trustworthy, sense of humor, don't mind cleaning, can follow orders, enjoy teaching, live on little money
I would like to coastal sail on days trips for a day or a few days at a time. And after coastal sailing for a few months, i would like to go ocean sailing,
Although i have done some coastal sailing with my family on our boat when young, i consider myself to be a novice
My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat:
to share experience, face challenges, gain experience, learn to sail
I long to do more. Coastal sailing for now.
