Description
I’m an apprentice geriatric, but have realised I need help,?!? I live on a 15m sailing ketch which is moored at pioneer bay, in the heart of Airlie beach. I live to go sailing every other week for 2-4 days at a time. I work full time so I’m off the boat 60 +hours a week. I’m looking for help to complete projects in progress ie(12v electrics, diesel mechanics, fibreglass patching, painting etc & general boat stuff) but basic stowing & cleaning is main priority.

Living aboard, it’s like camping but not! Explore the Queensland barrier reef’s islands & bays and nature in north QLD,,, most days we’re hanging on a mooring about 400m from shore. Very comfy location for 90% of the year.
Help
Fundamental cleaning, stowing (putting things away so they can be found later), setting up house for later participants & motivating me to do same!!

Accommodation
If a couple? You can have the aft cabin. For singles or couples there’s a v-berth & /or saloon, boat is comfy for upto 5 pax.
My dietary requirements are rudimentary so I would suggest that you would shop for yourself/selves. There is a 2 burner lpg stovetop with grill, 95lt fridge freezer on board, shower (cold only atm) & head, I have bed linen/towels etc if neededWhat else ...
Plenty of time to enjoy nature on the water, fish if you like, read & dream, swim, snorkel or kayak as you wish.
