Sailor, fire fighter, scuba instructor
I have spent 4 seasons with the company ActionQuest acting as Skipper, Scuba Instructor, First mate and Operational Director, aboard 50 ft sailboats in the BVI's. I just got back from Skippering a trip of 570 nm with nine 14-year-olds on board and one 19-year-old as crew, from the BVIs to Antigua and back, teaching them advanced sailing. I have previosult worked as an environmental consultant and skipper in Sweden where I collected water samples with a 31ft aluminum work-boat. I am currently working as a full-time firefighter in Stockholm. I also drive high-speed RIB-boats at a speed of 55 kts commercially, and teach navigation and boat handling at a boating school. I grew up sailing in Sweden and in the Med on a 47ft boat, and own a 35 ft boat used for recreational sailing in the baltic. I love sailing, the ocean and adventure, and I am now looking to get some more saltwater in my life. Highly adaptable and know what it means to be onboard with little space for an extended time. Primarily looking for transports as first mate.
