Crew Available: Marquesas Onward

[chael777]

Hello all,

I'm writing this in expectation of making it eventually to the Marquesas. I'm here in the Panama Canal meeting great people, but my original plan of crewing a boat all the way to New Zealand seems more and more untenable. Therefore, I post this with the hope that some boat captain out there will see it and want to take on crew for the short crossings in French Polynesia.

Obviously I will be talking with boat captains anyway once I'm there, but in the off chance anyone reads this and will need or want crew by that time, do email me.

I am 26 years old, from Chicago, and with several short passages to my name, plus the experience between here (Panama) and FR Poly by the time I might be of interest to you. I will have already entered the country and posted my bond so there's no worries there. I'm very reliable, trustworthy, and I'm a hard worker, taking orders and suggestions always with a determined resolve.

I have a very low budget, and I will need what money is left to me in order to survive in New Zealand as I try to get my way across to Australia (to work, hopefully), so I cannot contribute to cost-sharing vessels. I can handle my own food for a reasonable and realistic daily contribution.

Anyway, check me out on couchsurfing (CEEGE), or my website (velabas.com). I have great references from captains with whom I've crewed. Take care!
