NEW ZEALAND to AUSTRALIA, PACIFIC, ANTARCTICA / ALASKA / PATAGONIA
Hi!
I am currently in Auckland and would love to sail from New Zealand to Australia! If you are looking for crew or have some space, please let me know! I am a competent crew and can help out.
I am also interested in exploring the Pacific, Vanuatu, Cook islands, French Polynesia, Easter Islands, Hawaii!
My dream is to go polar sailing, I would love to sail to Antarctica, see icebergs, experience the cold and extreme, deepen my skills. I would also love to go to Alaska, Patagonia, Groenland when back in Europe.
I am open to anything a bit unusual and exciting, Africa, Japan,.. :)
I am Johanna, 36 yo from Germany, traveling around the world, exploring and seeking fresh input and new adventures!
It is probably too late for the Pacific, I am now in New Zealand, soon heading to Australia. Would love to sail there and also local sailing, a cool job around sailing, deliveries or a boat sit would be great!
I've been sailing on Ponants and 4,70m boats on mountain lakes with the university and friends back home and hold a license for lake sailing. For one full season 2018/19, I have been sailing up and down the Caribbeans between Guadeloupe and Grenada and then from Martinique to Panama and on to Ecuador and the Galapagos. In summer 2020, I've been crossing the North Sea from the Netherlands to the Faeroese Islands and back down to Scotland. I worked some years as a medical doctor in pediatrics in mayor children hospitals and am interested in humanitarian and global health issues. I have worked in emergencies and remote, so I might get in very handy for medical stuff and life support, especially on longer crossings. I'm interested in joining expeditions, research projects and nature protection boats. I would also like to try educational sailing with kids/teenagers and go on a tall ship!
I am happy to help with anything onboard and am interested especially in the sailing of course! I want to deepen my sailing skills and become a competent skipper myself one day and who knows, combine my passions and get my own boat to sail the world! Thus, I would like to learn and am very grateful for all you can teach me and am looking for valuable input to improve my sailing, engineer and maintenance skills, fixing all kind of boat problems, navigation, passage planning, weather forecast, crew organization and leadership, captain's duties and responsibilities, life experience and human kindness! :) I usually work my stay or passage, can pay my own food and costs I create or expect a pay, depending on the position and the work I do. For contribution, I expect a nice trip or holiday among friends, shared decision-making where allowed and fair distribution of duties. Vegetarian and environment conscious. Big Ocean lover! Interested in all kind of water and wind sports and activities, also hiking high mountains or going on expeditions! I'd like to try polar waters now. Looking for great sailing, happy captain and crew and generally a good time exploring amazing places on a nice interesting boat. Responsible, safe, happy and easy going.
I am also interested in paid work, charters and deliveries.
No dating!
Happy to hear from you!
Thank you and fair winds!
Johanna
