Join me in Fiji on my yacht called Mecánica:

I’m an IT Security Professional with a lifelong passion for the sea. In November 2022, I shifted my IT Security career toward long-term leisure cruising—in a friendly spirit!
I've delivered or skippered multiple yachts/catamarans between 33 and 67ft.
Summary:
- where I am/tracking page and contact : https://SailingScanner.pl
- I'm not a professional seafarer with "gold straps" on my shoulders. I'm focused on fun sailing and not getting paid.
- 35000+ NM of sailing experience as skipper and crew which is good starting point to learn more.
-Yachmaster certification (including 2x Atlantic Ocean crossing on 46ft and 59ft catamaran and one Pacific crossing on 67ft/20m catamaran. I've crossed Panama canal 3 times on different boats)
- Full STCW Basic Sea Safety
- MCA AEC1 and AEC2 mechanic + hands on experience
- Tidy, healthy, no food-restrictions, no tattoos, no addictions (well, may be sailboat repairs and helping pro Bono remote communities)
- EU Citizenship / Schengen Passport (exp. 2031), B1/B2 visa (2034)
- Own safety equipment like PLB/EPIRB, AIS + MOB, SART, Garmin InReach, Iridium Go, PFD.
"McGyver" on board - with MCA AEC1 AEC2 certification:
I have hands on experience maintaining outboard, diesel engines and OceanVolt electric propulsion, electronics, RF radio systems on the yacht as well hull maintenance.
I feel comfortable with designing, configuring, maintaining and troubleshooting of electrical equipment like large energy storage systems, solar panels, charging controllers, gensets, inverters, lifepo4 power banks and battery management systems. I can manage refit projects of reasonable size and dealing with "mañana" like (difficult) providers.
My rule of thumb is to leave yacht in better condition regardless if its charter, delivery or private yacht.

Experienced skipper, watch leader with great boat-technical knowledge
Met Bartek on a ~2 week delivery. His experience in passage making, skippering and watch leading capability shines through. Just as his interest and understanding of yacht mechanics and marine systems. He does not shy away from a challenge and strive to understand everything about the vessel he's on. On top of all that, he's also easy going, friendly and fun to spend time with at sea. Looking forward to future passages with him.
