Crew Available: Experienced Deck/Engineer for paid long-term or seasonal

[ParaplegicRacer]

I've sailed mostly on tall ships and have played with everything from big B&Ws to itty-bitty SAABs. Being commercial credentialed means I know other things like refrigeration, steam-generation and -power, welding (though I'm no good at it) and metal fabrication. I have extensive experience with RO watermakers. Electrical is my strong suit, particularly as it relates to lead-acid batteries. I can't seem to talk those tall ships into upgrading to more durable battery chemistries like NiFe.

I don't care to try to understand the goofy RYA ratings. They don't translate to my commercial credentials well, anyway.

I'm single. Early 40s. Fit. Smoker. Weird Alaska guy. I fit into any crew.

Nothing to pay you with here, but if you want to crew, I keep a boat in Seward. Headed south this summer.
