Looking for a Competent Crew, Mile building or Delivery Crew position
Dear Shipmates, I've just joined Crewbay. I'm interested in finding a position as a Competent Crew, Mile building or Delivery Crew.
My Qualifications:
Boaters Card
Radio Operator Certificate (Marine)
ASA 101 Keelboat
ASA 103 Coastal Cruising
ASA 104 Bareboat Cruising
ASA 114 Cruising Catamaran … to be completed …
Scuba PADI Rescue Diver along with First Aid/AED/O2 Provider
Scuba PADI Advanced Open Water / Nitrox
ATPL License (Airline Transport Pilot License) and Seaplane Rating
Now retired from the airline industry and with lots of seaplane time as well, I find it a very natural transition to pursue my adventures on a sailboat, perhaps one day, my own….
I now hold a Bareboat Cruising License and I am very eager to continue learning and build some sea miles with a safe crew and vessel whether that would be Passages or Deliveries.
As a crew, I have crossed the Gulf Stream over to the Bahamas, sailed some of the Great Australian Barrier Reef, sailed on the Canadian Great Lakes, did a couple of Sea of Cortez crossings and sailed some of New Zealand. Nearly all my experience is on 35-50ft Monos. I really enjoy all aspects of sailing and as much as the winds will allow.
I have no problems doing my share of chores onboard, planning provisioning, keeping the boat tidy, cooking or keeping watches (night & day).
As a person, I keep myself fit and healthy. I am calm, polite, discreet and often perceived as highly organised, motivated, self-disciplined and efficient. As well, I am very enthusiastic and love to laugh, tell stories, share adventures and make friends along the way. I have spent a lot of my time in remote wilderness areas and can easily live off the grid. I love to travel and spend my onshore time hiking, exploring new places and getting to know local cultures. I am a strong confident swimmer and love snorkelling and scuba diving.
My schedule is open after April 1st/2026. If you would like to set up a video call to see if our interests align please let me know. Thank you for your consideration,
Helene
