From Central America
Hello all!
My name is Kristie and I am looking for sailing experience. I am 22 years old and currently traveling in Central Amerika, trying to learn spanish.
I'm looking to gain sailingexperience and to join a sailboat as unpaid crew / shared vessel-costs. I'm used to boats, but only a little sailing. I would love to learn more and am ready to work hard and to help out.
I am a positive person, non-smoker and get along with mostly all people. I speak Norwegian, English, Swedish, a little Danish (at least I understand it), and are currently learning Spanish. I travel with my backpack, so not much luggage. I'm a padi Rescue Diver and have a EFR (emergency first responder) course.
I can join earliest from the end of november or beginning of december 2011, preferrably from Beliz or Guatemala, but I can be flexible on port of departure. I am going to travel to the east cost of Belize, Guatemala and downwards, depending on if I find a sailboat to join.
Would be really fun to join as a crewmember! =)
Thanks for reading this,
Kristie

Re: From Central America
Kristie, when you're in Guatemala, go to the Rio Dulce area. With the end of the hurricane season, there will be lots of boats departing the river going in all directions. You might be able to pick up a ride there. Visit Bruno's and post a notice on their bulletin board. I'm in Bocas del toro, Panama and planning on heading to Cartagena later this month and was looking for crew until last week when I got one for this trip. Good luck
Bill

Re: From Central America
Kristie, I will be returning to British Columbia this summer starting about June 1, 2012. From there perhaps as far North as Alaska? Then turning around and down the coast to San Diago for the ha-ha and into the Sea of Cortez. If you would like to consider this or a portion of the trip PM me. 1Sunseeker

Re: From Central America
Hi Christie, I'm currently in Mazatlan and planning to sail the West Coast of Mexico and then up into the Sea of Cortez before taking the boat up the coast to California in May or June. Have you sailed Mexico? The Sea of Cortez is awesome. If you'd like to join me I could get you up to Mazatlan and we can decide where to cruise from here. Check out my Crew Wanted ad and if you have some interest, kindly get back to me. Cheers from Mexico, Dick
