Looking for a professional position in the Carribean from December

Yachmaster offshore commercially endorsed, ENG11, GMDSS GOC, and all STCW certificates including medical care at sea uptodate.
Extensive professional experience on boats up to 30m as skipper or first mate in Europe, the Carribean and Antarctica. Over 30 years experience in the tourism industry, mosty in managerial positions.
Looking for a seasonal or temporary position in the Carribean from December. I have been a cruising instructor, a job I loved, so would be particularly interested in a position that involves some teaching / passing on skills.
I also have been the part owner of a vegetarian restaurant so I have experience in the catering trade and a position as a cook on a large vessel may also suit.
I would normally expect to be paid although if I like the project, I may be interested in a voluntary position:
Bilingual French / English, non smoker, non drinker.
I am easy going, adaptable and kind but will not sail with heavy drinkers or smokers
Being a father of two (now grown up) I am fine with kids
Write if you think I can be a match!
