shantycharlie: My name is Charlie Goodwin, born to English Mother and Spanish Father. Grown up by the sea on the Island of Palma de Mallorca. The sea was my playground, learning to swim at a young age and discovering various water sports such as, body boarding, surfing and scuba diving. I was a lifeguard for 5 years and supervised the rescue service of the beaches of the county of Calvia.
In my early 20´s I backpacked around Asia, which I embraced a variety of cultures. On returning home to Palma I became involved in the hospitality and entertainment industry, were I part owned a music bar, marketing new bands. However, my heart was still set on a career in the yachting industry, as an experience tender driver, I took the decision to gain my RYA Yachtmaster Coastal qualification.
After two pleasant years at the concert hall “Factoria de So” and 5 Years as a Lifeguard Supervisor in the rescue service of Calvia “Proteccion Civil” . I skippered the rescue boat, tender Lima 8. Logging up to 25.000 nautical miles, and attending personally to over 300 distress calls. I have a good capacity for learning and my ability to respond immediately to the moments of maximum stress. During my excellent and varied career that has allowed me to enrich my knowledge and skills in all areas, reflecting my professionalism.
As you can see from my CV, I've had the opportunity to be on board crew member on several sailing yachts. Including S/Y Isheda, a 23m and 40 ton and 15 year old Greek Ketch. Where I was 1st mate. The experience was tremendously challenging and gratifying by the extraordinary experience that I gained on board the Greek Kaiki. I am an enthusiastic and keen sailor, willing to learn from my peers and progress within the industry.
Please find attached my CV for your perusal. I'm also attaching several pictures of my hobbies, including; Travelling, Trekking (Annapurnna's), Bodyboarding, Apnea and Scuba-diving, photography and of course Sailing
I would like to thank you for your time and hopefully be considered, should future opportunities arise within your Team.
Kind Regards
Charlie Goodwin
