Looking to be a Chief Mate or 2nd Mate
I'm Bala
New to Sailing, but an ex Chief officer on Cargo ships with 13 years of experience at sea, including navigation in some of the world's busiest waterways. My experience includes navigating the English Channel, transpacific and Atlantic routes, as well as crossing the Suez and Panama Canals. I have extensive expertise in passage planning, weather monitoring, and bridge equipment maintenance, including GPS, radar, and GMDSS systems. Additionally, I'm a certified first aid officer and have a strong background in PSSR and PSCRB.
I'm looking to gain some sailing experience on a sailboat within the UK and am eager to join any sailing trips or crew positions to enhance my sailing skills and learn more about the sailing community. If anyone has opportunities or needs a crew onboard, please let me know!
Fair winds,
Bala
