Looking for mile building and friendships in the colder climates.
Hi,
In August 2025 I wil be an early retiree. From then on I wil start fulfilling my sailing dream.
I have completed my RYA Day Skipper theory and in March I will be on a 6 day/night RYA Competent Crew course here in the Netherlands on the Ijsselmeer and Waddenzee. After that I can apply for the practical Day Skipper course.
I have done a little sailing when I was in my teens.
I was by profession for 12 years an engine overhaul mechanic (industrial, maritime, automotive) so I do know my way around diesel and petrol engines, not that I'm eager to get my hands all grubby anymore, but knowledge can come in handy.
Eventually I will own my own live aboard steel sailing vessel.
Starting from August/September I wil be available to gain experience, preferably in the colder climates (Artic and Antarctic), and It would be amazing to have the opportunity to be a crew member.
Hope to hear from you!
