Looking for a Steward(ess), Novice Crew or Cook/Stew position
Hi - I've just joined Crewbay. I'm interested in finding a position as a Steward(ess), Novice Crew or Cook/Stew. I’m looking for an opportunity in the Mediterranean from now until the end of May, also from mid Sept-end of October. I’d love to sail all summer long but I’m cooking and housekeeping on an Agriturismo in the Apennine Mountains. I have a background in hospitality and cooking and I have traveled to 24 countries. I love Mediterranean ingredients and sharing meals with friends. I grew up in Arizona where my father was a scuba instructor. We spent our summers on his boat in the Sea of Cortez and since an early age I have loved and admired the ocean. Now live full time in Italy but when I’m not cooking on the organic farm this summer I’d love to spend as much time as I can sailing and gaining more miles.
Last summer I spent 8 days sailing from Olbia to Bonifacio, and around La Maddalena with the company Join the Crew. My biggest contribution to the crew was planning and prepparing meals. When I wasn’t in the galley I was always ready to lend a hand and learn something new on deck. In Dec. I travelled to Cagliare and took a 5 day intensive sailing course with Scuola Vela Italia. We split into two groups and each day simulated regatta teamwork with the help of our instructors. It was much more demanding than I imagined but I loved it and learned a great deal.
Now I’m considering taking more sailing courses or joining a crew. I’m still very much a novice sailor but determined none the less.
