Looking to crew!

[markbone21805]

Good Day,

I am looking to get myself crewing for anyone that needs someone. I used to dinghy sail in my younger years and did a competent crew course some years back in Portugul. Since then, circumstances meant I have not stepped on a boat however I now have the time!

I am in the Merchant Navy and work regular patterns which are at the moment 6 weeks on 6 weeks off.....therefore when I'm on leave I have plenty of time if anyone is in need. Weekdays are no problem!

Cheers

Hi Mark

Welcome to the forum. I'm afraid I have no need for crew on my 28ft mobo!
But I'm sure some sailing folk will be interested.
Wish I could work your shift pattern, what type of ship are on on?

Cheers for your reply!

All sorts really, just finished a year with the Northern Lighthouse Board, the Scottish equivalent of Trinity House on the NLV Pharos Buoytender and start on Dive Support Boats come the end of May. Tankers, Fishery Patrol, Platform supply...spent time on them all!

Fingers crossed I can get use some of my leave to get out and crew with someone...beats DIY hey!!!!!

If you haven't already done so, paddle across the Avon on a Wednesday evening and pop into Portishead Cruising Club in Pill. You'll be assured of a good welcome and shouldn't have any problem finding someone who needs a crew.

If you're over the other side of the Channel anytime (I mean Wales, not France!) and fancy a sail please feel free to get in touch.

Thanks for your replies...

I did nip over to Pill one night a few years ago but then work caught up with me! It looks like my time is starting to become less hectic work wise so I will be sure to pop over again!
