Hello,
I am an Undergraduate at UCSD that is preparing to graduate in June 2014. I am interested in
crewing a vessel traveling from the
West Coast of the United States of America to either
New Zealand or
Australia during Late June-October of 2014, where I would then plan to make landfall for some backpacking.
I was a crew
member on the Old Glory, a Calkins 50 docked in
San Diego until the
captain of the vessel passed away last year. In addition to the sailing experience I obtained on this vessel, I have been a camp counselor at Mission Bay Sports Center in
San Diego for three years, and am very proficient on the 22ft sailing
boats that we teach
kids how to sail on throughout the summer months.
While my experience on larger vessels is somewhat limited, I am a hard worker and am familiar with life on the
water.
Cheers,
Paul Gillcrist
