Cape Verdes island hopping Competent crew
Currently in Mindelo, looking to be in Tarrafal, Santiago early February. Comfortable doing nightwatches and cooking, some small DIY stuff, have sailed these islands before ;) Used to living together in a small space. I speak English, Dutch and conversational German, and with hands and feet I have found my way in French, too.
Hi - I'm looking for sea miles & to expand my horizon!! I've been to the nautical college in Enkhuizen NL (first year). Got my Rating Deck . Spent some years chartering traditional vessels. Right now I'm just looking for experience and new friends!! I want to see the world!
I started sailing as a kid, my father taught me and i've in turn taught kids keelboat sailing :)
I've been a professional sailor for over two years from Harlingen (2018-2019 + covid years) We sailed with family groups or schools, or any organisation that booked the ship (up to 26 guests, on board for about a week) The only professionals were me and the skipper- the responsibility forced me to learn a lot in a short time!
I've been employed as a deckhand on a seagoing traditional sailing vessel for a year and a half, getting some Tall Ship experience from the Cape Verdes to Danish coast! I want to expand my horizon and learn something new, never been on a yacht really for longer than a day!
I've seen clear skies & deadly quiet seas, waves 9m, rain & hailstorms and everything in between. Biskay this year was rougher tha expected-
I'm most comfortable with traditional vessels but will definitely be able to pick things up quickly!
