College Student Seeking Offshore Coastal Experience in Summer

[VASailor10]

Hello,

I am currently 18 years old and a freshman in college attending the University of Mississippi, but planning on transferring to a Maritime Academy. I have a 1983 Catalina 22 and sail on the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. I have also crewed on a 34' Beneteau on the bay when in the Scouts on a 3 day passage, and a day trip on a 1967 Trintella 35 on the Bay.

I also worked as a deckhand and performed minor maitenence for the Potomac Riverboat Company (www.potomacriverboatco.com). I worked extensively on 2 100 ton boats (Mathew Hayes and the Miss Christin) operating in ferry transportation up and down the river. I also worked on a 25 ton boat that engaged in Harbour tours (Admiral Tilp)

I am an Eagle Scout, and have taken the US Power and Sail squadrons basic boating course and passed a proctored exam. Also, I am planning to get my SCTW certification this December in Florida at International Yacht Training in Fort Lauderdale.

I am seeking some Coastal or Offshore sailing experience this summer between June 1 to August 1. Please let me know if you could use me or know someone that could. I am willing to pay for my travel and food expenses as well.

Thanks,
Spencer

Spencer,

I'm doing some coastal cruising in New England this coming summer and am always looking for crew. Send me a PM with contact info and we can discuss if you wish.
