Couple looking for a Competent Crew and Novice Crew position
Hello.
I am Jean-Sébastien (J-S). I grew up in Québec, Canada and live in Toronto, Canada.
I am part of a team of two with my partner Ana.
I have been sailing for five years on keelboats in sizes from 24 feet to 45 feet.
I completed Sail Canada Intermediate cruising and ICC.
I have been on three one week sailing trips, the last one as skipper.
I am member of a boat sharing club in Toronto, Canada.
We will be enjoying life around the Caribbean sea from January, 1st, 2025 to March 31, 2025.
We are free from mid January 2025 to mid February 2025 and in March 2025.
I would love the opportunity to sail around the Caribbean sea, with time to visit the islands, bird watch and snorkel.
I strongly prefer vegetarian food.
Outstanding Crew with Expertise and Teamwork!
I had the pleasure of sailing with Ana and J-S aboard my Lillian V sailing boat (42-foot catamaran) as we made the journey from Belize to Honduras, including an overnight passage, covering a total of 200 nautical miles. Both Ana and J-S are incredibly hands-on and proactive, tackling any challenges that came our way. One of the highlights of our trip was when we ran into engine trouble; they jumped right in and helped with troubleshooting, displaying knowledge and problem-solving skills. Their ability to work efficiently and as a team was essential during that time. In addition to their strong seamanship skills, they are both incredibly hardworking and contributed to every aspect of the voyage, from navigation to sail handling and everything in between. They kept the boat organized and well-maintained, always ensuring everything was in its proper place, which contributed to a smooth and safe journey. They also prepared delicious vegetarian meals that were both nutritious and tasty, keeping the crew well-fed and energized for the long passage. I would highly recommend Ana and J-S to anyone looking for dependable, capable, and safety-oriented crew members. They bring energy, expertise, and a strong work ethic to the table, and I would happily sail with them again any day!
