Hi, I'm looking for mile building opportunity's, and making new friends.
Hi,
In August 2025 I wil be an early retiree at the age of 59. From then on I wil be committed in fulfilling my intensions of living aboard my own sailing vessel.
In December I completed my RYA Day Skipper theory and on March 28th I completed a 6 day/night RYA Competent Crew course here in the Netherlands on the Ijsselmeer and Waddenzee. Now I can apply for the practical Day Skipper course, but haven't set a date yet.
I had done a little sailing and a lot of windsurfing when I was in my teens. I have PADI open water and have dived in the Red Sea, Azores and Bonaire.
I am mechanically minded and skilled. I enjoy solving problems, fabricating or fixing things.
In the foreseeable future I will own my own live aboard steel sailing vessel, starting by cruising the Norwegian Artic coast for a year or two and give others the opportunity to come aboard and build miles and friendships.
Starting from August/September it would be amazing to have the opportunity to be part of your crew, preferably in the higher latitudes, but I don't want to be picky, experience counts, whatever latitude.
I have my own offshore gear, jackets, salopette, boots and accessories.
If after reading my pitch you have any tips or advice helping me search for a crew position, I would be very grateful.
Hope to hear from you!
Close
