Crew Available: TAHITI - NEW ZEALAND

[chael777]

My name is Chael. I'm 26, from Chicago, studied at University of Oregon. I have been traveling around for 3.5 years. I am very competent and capable. See my CS profile for character references, membername: CEEGE. See my website velabas.com. I'm in Papeete now, staying in the anchorage at Taina.

I have made it a principle to work for food. I am not a freeloader, I am a work-exchanger. I can offer only up to 150 dollars per month if money contribution is required, because I am trying to round the world on said budget, but I have money for emergencies, visas, etc--all that jazz.

I have references from the boat with which I crossed from Panama, a lovely family that has decided to stick out the season in Fr Poly--my journey is onward. Further references are available upon request.

I have experience of the latest passage (3 weeks from the Marquesas in heavy weather), and several short journies (sea of cortez, panama-colombia several times). I am not an experienced sailor, but my capability has increased 100-fold since Panama. So, meet me, decide on my financial journey, and tell me whether yes or no.

The only thing I ask of a captain is to tell me exactly what he or she wants, and to be very clear. That is the only thing. And a life raft. You gotta have a life raft and epurb. And no cats. Cheers
