Love boating and fishing; have my own trailer boat. Day and night watches, electronic navigation, radio operation, operate tender, trim sails, mechanical maintenance and might even troll a lure for a dinner fish.
I’m also house trained after 30 years in Defence and also like to dabble in the galley.
Can fly in and fly out to assist with boat transits, travel company and watch duties etc.
