Let's get the obvious out of the way.... Yes, I'm
single and NO, I'm not here to date. ;-) PLEASE don't be "that guy" looking to
trade favors for sailing....
Currently in Ft Lauderdale, FL but willing to go wherever the
wind blows!
Finished the certs for
bareboat mono/cat chartering (ASA 101/103/104/114) in February and am looking for crew positions to gain experience and better my sailing skills, as well as really wanting to check out all the cool
parts of this amazing planet!
Sailing experience:
1 week aboard 40'
Lagoon, 110nm Ft Lauderdale>Biscayne Bay. Took turns on
helm with 3 other crew.
2 weeks aboard 46' Moody, 275nm St Petersburg>Marathon Key. Capt said it was the first time he EVER felt comfortable turning the
helm over and napping - I think it was mine about 70% of the time after day 2. Longest day: 17hrs, 110nm. Several days spent in 15-20mph
wind, 4-6' seas, 20-30* heel.
Sailing gigs could either be on the "no-frills/ tight schedule/ delivery" scenario or more of a "leisurely/ no schedule/
vacation mode" kind of thing - or anywhere in between. I may like looking like a girly-girl but have no problem getting dirty and working my ass off.
My schedule is very flexible and can accommodate just about any situation if all the other factors line up. I'm not looking for paid positions but do expect all on-board costs to be covered (travel to/from the
boat would be appreciated!).
I'm quite a capable cook/stew (would actually prefer to be allowed to take the lead on provisioning). I have a US Passport and clean driver's
license, am a non-smoker/social drinker, no criminal background, am fit and healthy. I'm a quick study with a sincere desire to travel and immerse myself in the sailing world!
Professionally - I'm currently on sabbatical from teaching yoga and practicing Reiki and Yoga Nidra (meditation). Prior to that, a Regional Developer/Franchise Owner for fitness studios in 2 states and the owner/operator for administrative services consulting business.
