Novice Sailor who crossed the atlantic by sail and is now stuck with sailing
Hello fellow Sailors and People who love the sea
I crossed the Atlantic from Las Palmas to Antigua by sail, currently located in Fuerteventura for surf. I thought that journey would be something like a once in a lifetime thing to do. It turned out that I just can't go back to a 9 to 5 job at the moment, there is so much more to experience.
I'm looking for an opportunity to keep on sailing, no matter the conditions, as long as there is a sail and friendly crew/skipper. I don't have any certifications or other experciences except the crossing when we talk about sailing. Anyhow, I understand boat life, the lines, the basics of sailing, the sails and taking care to have a good atmosphere on the ship :)
I am a hands-on guy, and will do anything to contribute to a good and safe trip (watches, cooking, cleaning, basic maintenance tasks, learning). I can stick with all rules.
About myself:
I think I am a friendly, helping and caring guy. 33 years of age. I'm happy to be social and having nice non-BS discussions. But i sometimes do need some time for myself, where i would listen to music and try to sort my thoughts. Beeing currently intentionally unemployed, my background is in mechanical engineering, data science and IT, at least that is what i studied some time ago.
The optimal starting location for me would be the cannaries, my destination would be anywhere you want to go. The very best thing would be to go back to eurpean main land.
Looking forward to hearing from you, if you think i might match.
