Very experienced sailor available now in South America, anything considered
I'm a former yacht master instructor and professional skipper with many offshore passages to my name, including a solo transatlantic crossing and a trip to Antarctica. I have sailed about 50 000 miles, mostly as skipper or first mate on a variety of monohulls and catamarans up to 30 meters. I know the European Atlantic coast between Scotland and Gibraltar very well, and have also worked in the Med, Antarctica and the Caribbean. Having been the maintenance manager for a fleet of about forty boats, I'm pretty good at boat maintenance.
My sailing plans for the winter fell through, and I'm currently in Patagonia, ready for my next sailing trip as skipper, first mate, or just competent crew, to ... anywhere. Can travel within South America.
I have extensive professional experience in the catering and hospitality trade (I used to own a vegetarian / vegan restaurant), so a position as a cook or chef (vegetarian / vegan preferably) could also suit me.
I'm perfectly bilingual French and English, and I speak some Spanish.
I will not sail with smokers or heavy drinkers.
Being a father of two (now grown up) I'm fine with kids.
