Crew Available: Retired Mariner Wants to Voyage

[Jonathan Reiter]

I didn't kill the Dead Sea or put the salt in the Oceans, but I have a lot of experience and am an excellent helmsman and watchstander. I'm retired to a 300 acre horse and Longhorn ranch in New Mexico and can get away for any period of time starting in the fall. I no longer have any Coast Guard credentials but held an Able-Bodied Seaman's ticket from '66-'90, a six-passenger license grandfathered to 100 tons, and a Red Cross sailing instructor's certificate. I've built new sailboats and motor yachts, re-rigged dozens of boats, re-finished some famous yachts, etc. I'm 66 going on 40 and want to make periodic voyages to anywhere interesting. If you want a reliable person to help sail your boat to your intended cruising grounds, call me @ 805.570.4804 or e-mail jonreiter@wildblue.net, I'll arrive with one seabag and a good attitude.
