Young Doctor Looking For Sailing Opportunities
I'm Barbaros, a 29 y/o doctor from Izmir/Turkey, soon moving to the UK, looking for sailing oppurtunities around the world, particularly at the moment in Mediterrenean,the UK,Africa as well as Central and South America.I have been participating in local trophy organized by EAYK (Aegean Open Sea Yacht Club) in Cesme/Turkey for the last 5 years within a team.I have also competed in many other regattas on the shores of Turkey and Greece. I have done offshore and coastal leisure sailing in Turkey, Greece and Italy. I went on a backbacking trip which lasted 2 years to Latin America in 2015 during which I had chance to realize a long-time dream of me and crossed the Atlantic from November 2015 to December 2015 from Gran Canaria - Spain to Barbados in the Caribbean with a stop over in Cape Verde making over 3000 miles across the ocean.Before that, I was in the sailing team of my university for several years. All these taught me know how to best adapt to the limited conditions on a boat and in the sea, to know my limitations, be always helpful and take safe steps in everything. Through this, I have also improved my leadership skills by bringing people together, organizing the team, shopping lists, finances, and share of the duties etc on the boat. I already welcome more challenges with a great energy as a way to improve myself and my sailing skills.I am an open-minded personality that makes it easier to get along with people from so different backgrounds.I am willing to take any duty and responsibility on the boat : Night watch,cooking,deckhand,sail trimming...
I was brought up with sea culture and have been lucky enough to live in a city,Izmir, whose history and lifestyle is shaped by the sea throughout the history. I'm an energetic,laid-back,cheerful,tidy as well as a responsible person and very well-informed of the history,mythology,traditions of my part of the world.I am good at cooking Turkish,Greek and Med-cuisine with lots of greens and olive oil as well as some well-known dishes from Asian and Mexican cuisines.
Moreover,as a doctor, I'm fully trained for first aid or any case of emergency as well as for basic medical interventions.
For anything you wonder,please don't hesitate to send me a message!
