Good day good people!
My name is Benas. Some call me Rico. I like both.
After traveling
Canada and spending well over half of the year on the Pacific,
fishing for all kinds of sea goodies (prawns, salmon, tuna, sea urchins) I realized how much I enjoyed being on the blue waters. So after that I joined my friend from Canadian Coast guard to sail around Southeast side of
Vancouver Island for a while. And that just made me fall in love with sailing.
I am form Lithuania, northern/eastern
Europe. After an astonishing year in
Canada I took my time enjoying
USA as well. I bought a car in
Vancouver Island and entered US to have my best roadtrip ever. Down the
west coast:
Washington and it's gorgeous Olympic Peninsula, impressive
Oregon coast (have You visited the Sea Lion Cave there? is awesome!) friendly north
California and humongous LA area, then stayed for a while in the heart of
route 66, Kingman, Arizona and now all the way down to Hayes, Virginia, on the York River. This continent is remarkable...
But this is not over yet. Now great
Atlantic ocean separates from my home. And my new goal is to cross it on a sailboat. I was welcomed aboard on 42 feet sailboat by two very nice gentlemen. And it seemed this goal will get on its progress as soon as planned departure at the end of MAY. However life is life and one of the
boat owners are not able to go any further then
Bermuda. Which is only around 1/3 of the way.
I am offering my
service and best commitment as a crew
member to someone who is on transatlantic crossing this spring. I do not do drugs, smokes, alcohol which after reading post on
forums like this I find an asset. I have experience living for weeks and months out there, have small sailing baggage of sailing knowledge and am ready to learn what ever it takes to cross this heck of a puddle!
Please contact me here via PM to discuss in detail.
Keep up the good
work and happy travels!
