Looking for a Delivery Crew, Deckhand, Mechanic/Deckhand or Navigator position

Not one to stand on ceremony.
Hanging around life just looking for the next time to go sailing.

Resume attached.
References & log book on request.

I am enjoying the trials learning the sailing life & the journey doing so. I am eager to learn more & continue as far as this goes.
Made it to Yachtmaster Offshore. Still green. A rookie, if you wish.

I have sleeves of tattoos. You won't probably catch me on the luxury side of this. But I will be somewhere around the world sailing.

Most often, my time available will be between the November & April months.
I can usually meet anywhere in the world in three or four days time of notice & embark for extended periods of time.

I'm fit, enjoy learning, energetic & balanced. I read, write & draw for leisure. I was in the U.S. Marine Corps. Been to University. Lived in several countries.

I pioneer my timber frame home offgrid. It is in the middle of the woodland hills & valleys. I am there throughout April to October.

I find joy in the journey that is rough & off the beaten path. Fickle I am not. Hardy I am. Finding comfort in the discomfort is gratifying.

Ciao for now,

-Skip Smith

Carpe diem, amice.
