Greetings!
Anthony Smith-Rodriguez here just finishing a season of organic farm
work in upstate New York,and ready to
head south for the
winter. I'm looking to crew on a
boat heading to the
Caribbean within the next few weeks. I am looking for an unpaid position and am willing to contribute to a shared cost arrangement. I have maritime experience both in coastal cruising(around
Puerto Rico, USVI and BVI), and as
deckhand on a 200ft high speed passenger ferry(MV Athena). I am also a leather and
canvas worker, and apprenticed at a marine
canvas shop doing mostly boat covers, shades, upholstery and sail
repair. I have a
current US Passport, am fully bilingual(English/Spanish), able bodied and eager to contribute to any and all tasks required on board any type of vessel. I am currently in Westport, NY, right on Lake Champlain, and would be able to meet up with a boat at any location along the eastern seaboard, or in the
Bahamas. I would be interested in either a
cruise down the
ICW or a straight crossing towards the
Bahamas. I would be disembarking either in Puerto Rico(My homeport) or any of the surrounding islands(Dominican Republic, Vieques,
Culebra, USVI or BVI). I'm ready to leave anytime after the 16th of November(sooner if required). Please feel free to contact me at antoinebags@gmai.com. I can make
phone contact at a prearranged time, as I am in a signalless region of the Adirondacks. I appreciate your consideration in having me as part of your crew, and look forward to being back on
deck.

PS: My CV also includes aquaculture/aquaponic farm
work and archaeology. I am greatly interested in your mission, and hope to hearing from you.
