Looking to build tidal miles and/or a paid position starting next spring
I'd like to build tidal miles to work towards a Yachtmaster, starting in January 2025.
I'm also looking for a paid position starting next spring. I'm open to other options which might offer a win-win for everyone.
It would be perfect if I can get a position together with my partner (he has some sailing experience too) but it's not mandatory - I will consider offers for one crew as well.
Looking for positions as Competent Crew / Delivery Crew / Deckhand.

I've also been working as freelance photographer since 2007. My work can be seen here: https://barbaramilavec.com

I'm happy to do any kind of work on the boat and keen on learning more about sailing & everything related to boats and boat maintenance.
I have a positive attitude and motivation to learn. Open minded, love to meet and interact with people, play guitar and sing, and always look for the good side of everything. A simple smile can go a long way in making the world a better place ;)
My dream is to combine my passion for sea, sailing, nature conservancy and photography all in one.
Interested in good wave & UW photography opportunities, possibly with people who are into (free)diving and/or surfing too.
I'm vegetarian with a preference for vegan food but I keep it simple and I'm happy to cook as long as you're in for a veggie meal :)
