Looking to join a sailboat as crew in Tuamotos (prefferably Fakarava) to Tahiti (and possibly further)
Hi! I’m currently in Fakarava headed to Tahiti looking to join a sailboat as crew. I crossed the Pacific through the Panama Canal from Bahamas and had an amazing experience. The boat I am on now will not need crew soon, but the captain is letting me stay on until I can find another boat. I will be in Tahiti by July 9th, and cruising along the Tuamotus until then.
About me:
I was born in the beautiful country of Belize, boating and adventuring remote islands in the Caribbean. I moved to Fort Lauderdale, FL when I was 10, and went to Penn State for my Bachelor’s of Science in Energy Engineering (a degree I chose since I care for sustainability, and enjoy solving problems). I’m 22 now and although I’ve tried starting my career in America, something inside me is strongly resistant. I love solo travel and want to understand the different cultures this world has to offer before I settle down into one. I began sailing from Fort Lauderdale in January of this year and have absolutely fallen in love with the life. I was on a Catalina 42 monohull cruising around Bahamas for 2 months and decided I wanted a bigger challenge, so I joined a catamaran as crew to cross the Pacific. I really enjoy sailing and problem solving, and would like to keep improving my skills. Of course, I also love the ocean, swimming with all marine life, surfing (or attempting), hiking, and learning about the different cultures.
What I offer:
- ~7,000 nm of experience
- Love to clean and keep things tidy
- An engineer’s critical thinking skills
- Good energy and easy going with a sense of humor
- Willing and able to assist in physically demanding tasks
- Hard worker, respectful
- Quick learner and highly adaptable
- Je parle un petit peu francais
- PADI certified
