Looking for transatlantic crossing from west to east
Hi my names Lui, a 24 yr old from New Zealand. I'm looking to help out on a boat to cross the Atlantic from west to east. Ideally getting to Europe before the end of May.
I'm a very easy going guy. I can get on well with most people from all walks of life. I'd say I'm a very honest, Trust worthy person. Enjoy having a chat and a laugh and sharing story's. I'm a very teachable person, I don't believe I have a big ego, very willing to learn. I can take the good times with the bad and have a very positive attitude. I am physically fit, and in good health. Having worked kayak guiding for a number of years now I feel comfortable on the ocean, and have a understanding of weather.
I'm currently working in Mexico as a kayak guide. I have an exciting opportunity to kayak guide in the fijords of Norway in the European summer.
In October of 2021 I said yes to what would be a life changing journey! I jumped on a 100 yr old square rigged schooner and helped sail her from nz to panama. The technology on the boat seemed like it was from the yr it was built. There were 14 sails to tend to, an we were split into 3 groups of 4, 4 hrs on 8 hrs off. Generally i spent over an hr of the 4 behind the helm, and the others doing various jobs. There were 13 (9 different nationalities) of us on the the boat and I'm happy to say that after 6 months living very closely together I walked of with 13 friends.
I believe our life is a story that we are the authors of. I'm currently trying to write the best story I can!
Look forward to seeing what's out there!
Cheers
Close
