Going from Australia to New Caledonia/Vanuatu
Hi, I'm looking for a boats from the Australian East Coast to Vanuatu in April or May 2019 since I will join another boat there. I am in the Brisbane area and ready to leave anytime.
I have sailed from French Polynesia to New Zealand on different boats, done coastal sailing in NZ, and spent three months as a Jack of all trades on a motor boat in Alaska. I have also worked in boat refits and maintenance.
If I can join you I'd be happy to help as a cook, most people like my food :-) or with other chores onboard. I am a handywoman, my trade being metals, but I also work with wood, fiberglass, paint and all sorts of other construction materials and I'd be happy to join your crew. I dont mind living in a small place and remote from any civilization, in fact I really enjoy that. All I demand is food, drink, a berth and nice companions :-)
A bit more about me:
I'm travelling around the world in the german tradition of the so-called journeyman that requires travelling without money for at least two years in search of work opportunities in order to acquire more experience in my field (welding and engineering ) and new ones too, and to develop personally as well of course. I started in Southamerica over two years ago and want to continue to Vanuatu now.
I'm an openminded, happy, curious and multifacetical person ready to help you with daily chores on board. I know you need to do a little bit of everything when it comes to sailing.
I studied architecture and sucessfully finished an apprenticeship as a metalworker. I can weld and forge. However, other than all metal works, I like all types of craftmanship and have experience with carpintery, painting, Art/Design, earthbuilding, arqueology (not so important on a boat ;-) and many more! I like cooking, my friends say i make great cakes, breads, and desserts and I speak german, spanish, english and a little french. I love to be outdoors, in the nature, extreme sports and I prefer the simple way of life and living. I live off the grid with a very small budget and I dont mind physical work, making myself useful and I am a quick learner.
