Crew Available: From East Australia Going East (Fiji, French Polynesia, S. America) or North (Asia)

[olivierotte]

I'm a 26 years old Belgian man looking to be part of a crew sailing east from Australia (from any harbour on the Australian east coast) and leaving around May or June, 2010. As a second choice, I would be happy to sail to Asia (Indonesia, Singapore, China, etc.)

I have good skills in sailing dinghies (420 and Booxy) and have previous experience in sailing boat off the Eastern Coast of Europe (Netherland / Belgian / and French Coasts) for a total of two weeks. During these trips, I've been an active crew member participating in day and night shifts. I'm fit, healthy and tough enough to endure long shifts and hard weather/ conditions and have the right frame of mind to complete difficult and long journeys. As example of the above I am currently riding from Sydney to Cairns on bicycle.

I have a master in construction and architecture engineering with two years of experience. I'm always in good mood, positive, hands-on attitude, love nature, quiet, respectful, enthusiastic and open-minded. I'm able to cook some nice simple dinners. I like to read, discover, enjoy food, enjoy simple things.

My final goal is to end up in South or Central America, or Southeast Asia (second choice).

I would be happy to be "another pair of eyes" on a boat going to any island on the way : New Caledonia, Fiji, French Polynesia,...

Please contact me on my e-mail :

(also, don't hesitate if you have any hints to find a boat !!)

Thanks a lot,
Olivier Otte
