Well, as mentioned I am a merchant mariner. I’ve got some time in the class room in the
deck department and
engine dept as well. I’m a future
engineer in the making, but have a liking for
deck work as well. I’m in the SIU (seafarers international union), and have been in it for about 1.5 years. Unfortunately, in the union you can’t be in deck AND
engine departments simultaneously. I’m currently sailing on a bulk carrier in the
Great Lakes. I’ve got a
contract until early October.
I’ve sold all of my belongings and am just looking for a couple of months of adventure and
learning until my next
classes start in January.
As far as location, I can fly anywhere to meet and would really be interested in cruising long distances, or in tropical locations. I’m financially stable as well.
I’m hoping that I can sail with one or more individuls and learn the ropes. I’m not totally green as far as sailing goes in general. But, sailing yachts would be a first. I’ve always been told that I’m a fast learner and easy to get along with.
I hope this clears up any concerns/questions
