Description
Hi am Jelle ,
I FOUND HELP SO HAVE NOT AVAILABILITY AT THE MOMENT.
I live on my sailboat at the Ionian Islands in Greece.
I am looking for one person to join me on April 12th to start working on my boat. The boat is on the dry/the boatyard in Preveza.
Preveza is a wonderful town. There are beaches castles and a old historic center and you can take the bus in the weekends to wonderful places around.
We need to work for about 5/6 weeks on the maintenance. If you complete this period we can make a sail trip along the Greek Ionian Islands, after that. (About 5 days.)
You will have your own bed, but don't expect much privacy.
You need to realize that you need to use the shower and toilet of the boatyard and climb a ladder 🪜 to get into the boat.
Work hours: 5 hours, 5 days.
Included breakfast, simple lunch, dinner + accommodation.
Living on board really is different from living in a house. Please don't respond if you need a lot of comfort and luxury; the lifestyle is quite basic. But the boat is cozy clean and everything is there to prepare food and I have have a fridge.
I am looking for a non-smoker with preferably some basic technical knowledge. Arts and Yoga are wonderful, but will not help anything with this project.
About the sail trip.
It fantastic to anchor underneath a sky full of stars near a Island beach. We will do that for 5 days to celebrate finishing the maintenance. But only with the person who is there all the way.
The boatyard has WIFI.
Rewards:
Experience the liveaboard-lifestyle;
Learn about life on board.
Learn about what it takes to maintain a sailboat.
And hopefully you like my company :)
