Safety Equipment & Communications:
I carry my own
satellite communications, which allows:
1) Text conversation to/from land to a group of
email addresses or
phone numbers
2) Offshore
Weather forecasts download
3) It also sends a position update at set intervals. This keeps you, your
family & friends in touch with where we are, and through text conversation.
Conclusion:
Every
delivery is different, and I am always available to discuss your delivery or
training needs. Some people need their
boat sailed across the harbor, some require delivery over thousands of miles, some people are looking to get used to a
boat they have just bought, and to get to grips with the
Rule of The Road, etiquette and logistical world that boaters live in!
Owners/friends are welcome to attend as crew
Rates and terms dependent on the requirement
Im a non-smoker, no drinking (at sea) policy
Drop me a line and I can send you my full resume and we can set up a video conversation and start discussing what we can do
