    Description

    Helping finishing the boat outside, painting, sanding, cleaning and renovate a little wooden tender. Also assisting in the engine room. I maintain the boat and engines myself. I am always fixing something so you would learn by helping me. The work on a boat is determined by the weather. If it is very wind we can't do so much. Other days there may be more to do on the boat. Also I would like to build a website about the boat.

    The boat project is to sand down the fiberglass with a pneumatic sander and polish with an electric buffer. I am very sociable, I like to cook. When I have friends whovisit me you would help to clean, taking extra precautions due to Covid. Also to take them out on excursions if they like in the little Suzuki jeep.
