  Description

  Hello fellow travellers,
  
  Thanks for stopping by my page.
  
  I've bought 39 feet blue water cruiser a few months ago, she is a beautiful ketch and hence I have plenty of little jobs that need doing on the boat. I'm busy here myself, doing usually several jobs to get by. And then of course, I have my own project going on. So some support from people around the world would be amazing.
  
  The boat could definitely do with some new and fresh vibes from new people that would like to help me making her more beautiful than she already is.
  I can offer you a nice cozy cabin on the boat, in return you can help me out on the boat up to 2 hours a day.
  Basically, it's a help for accommodation.
  
  I have done PLENTY of volunteering over many years of traveling myself so I'm stoked to be a host now.
  
  You can use my rowing dinghy to get from boat to land and vice versa so you have your independence of moving around.
  
  It's a beautiful area here, the island of Grenada itself has plenty of unspoiled Caribbean vibe beaches, but right where we are anchored, you can go for walks, snorkeling, diving, if you like Kitesurfing bro we are gonna go cuz that's what I like doing the most, so bring your gear!!
  The wind is on the lighter side so bring a 10 and 12 kite.
  
  I am not covering your food but I'd be keen join food resources together and cook delicious creations. there is a pretty good stove and oven on the boat.
  
  Food here is pricey but you can get good deals if you know where to go (market in town where the locals go shopping). I will tell you of course.
  
  Basically you can come here for a bit, enjoy the island vibe, help a bit for me on the boat, and then enjoy your travels maybe you can hitch hike a ride to any of the other island from here or take a plane to get out....
  
  Space on the boat is limited so we'll have to see how we vibe together and go from there.
  
  Take it easy, drop me a line about yourself and maybe we'll meet.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Where we are anchored, it's quite an international place, people from all over the world come here but mainly Europeans, North Americans and South Africans... And then there are the very friendly and open locals of course which speak some kind of english kreole amongst themselves which is difficult to understand but you can talk in normal english with them.
  It's all very low key and simple here.
  People came and go, everyone is welcome.

  Help

  Carpentry skills would be especially appreciated.

  Depending on your skillset, you may:
  *Clean the hull of the boat,
  *Clean stainless steel from rust
  *Various cleaning inside,
  Sanding wood... and just helping me in daily life, like going shopping and cooking.

  Accommodation

  Okay so you'll be in the front of the boat called the V berth. It's a comfortable cozy cabin. It's suitable for either a single person or a couple, both welcome...

  What else ...

  So you can catch local buses for under 1 USD to get around the island. They operate during daylight. What you can do depends on you a little bit. If you just want to read books on the beach you can do that, you can also go for island tours and whatever you fancy.
  I live low key and low budget as I'm putting all effort into my boat. In my spare time I work on the boat, if there is wind I go kiting... During the day I'm working my day jobs.
  I'm not a big social drinker or smoker and I don't want to have someone on board that needs substance just to get through the day, thanks. No heavy drinking on board.
  
  I jump start my day with espresso coffee and a good breakfast after that is a bit free flow.
