Sailing around the world was a lifelong dream of mine and I can't wait to do it all again and show you all the amazing spots I have seen and experienced.
I enjoy underwater Photography and videography, wakeboarding, kiteboarding and backgammon.
I am enthusiastic and have the drive and ambition best suited to a busy environment.
I display good accuracy and strong attention to detail, am pro-active and flexible with a good sense of
humour. I also don't get sea sick.
I am currently awaiting my NOE to sit my oral exam for my OOW <3000 GT.
