I am Dom, a simple man looking for discovering, learning, practicing and beautiful human encounters
Hello, I've just joined Crewbay.
I'm looking for a skilled crew member or second-in-command position, building miles and/or volunteering.
I'm a former climbing and canyoning guide and coach. I'm still lively and fit, although a little less active than before.
I've been living in Melbourne since November 2022 with my wife, the Executive Director of the Alliance Française de Melbourne.
We usually live in France, in the mountains around Grenoble, in the beautiful village of Lans-en-Vercors.
I've practiced cross-country skiing, rock climbing, French boxing, and paragliding.
I'm also a former diver and freediver, and I'm still a strong swimmer.
I practice yoga, meditation, and/or pranayama daily. I completed a 200-hour TTC training course (2016) and have been practicing regularly ever since.
After crossing the North Atlantic from Saint-Martin to the Azores (2012), I obtained the RYA Costal Skyper qualification (2015).
Since then, I have sailed the Mediterranean, from Sardinia to the Balearic Islands, the Aegean Sea in summer, the Seychelles, and, more recently, from Malaysia to the Andaman Islands, via Thailand.
Over the years, I have learned to take my time and savor every moment.
In general, I listen more than I speak, and I observe a lot. I am naturally discreet and respectful of everyone's space, in every sense of the word.
When sailing, I am grateful for the opportunities offered to me by skypers who welcome me aboard.
I aspire to be independent in managing a sailboat. Therefore, when I embark, I strive to gain the trust of the skyper who welcomes me, as I aim to master all aspects of sailing.
All that being said, I also hope to enjoy beautiful moments of discovery, relaxation, and peace.
If I had to name one thing I dread, it would be "the competitive spirit" in everyday life.
I also have a certain difficulty being around overly agitated personalities.
