That is exactly what Captain George did 20 years ago when he left his job to be a sailboat crew member. Since then he has logged over 25,000 sea miles sailing across the South Pacific sailing to remote tropical beaches, uninhabited islands, visiting foreign cultures, and more. He started out as a new crew member and now, is a licensed Captain and this course will show you how to you can become a crew member.

Hey everyone,

Here is a little overview of my experience on the water. I started sailing on the East coast generally within the Long Island Sound. Moving to Santa Barbara, California in 1980, I sailed the Santa Barbara Channel Islands with friends, mostly day sailing and weekends.

I have worked as a deck hand, first mate or captain aboard various boats across the South Pacific and Southeast Asia. I have crewed on private yachts for pleasure and on deliveries. I’ve sailed from Santa Barbara to Mexico on to the Marquesas, the Tuamotu Archipelago, Tahiti/Moorea, and on to Hawaii. I’ve sailed around Fiji to Vanuatu, New Caledonia to Australia. I’ve sailed from Australia to the Solomon Islands, through Indonesia to Singapore. From Singapore I captained a 54ft ketch through the Malacca Straits to Thailand, where I did casual charters out of Phuket.

I hold a U.S. Coast Guard 100 ton Captain’s license. I have STCW training and am a certified diver. I have a keen interest in all things oceanographic, and a deep respect for the ocean. I am dead serious when it comes to boat safety and navigation, fun loving and adventurous about life.
