Join our family on a sailboat and explore Grenada and Bonaire

  Description

  We are a family of three – our 3-year-old son Elio, my spouse Gregory, and me, Katerina.
  
  Three years ago we decided to sell our house in Miami and buy a sailing boat. It is a 48-foot catamaran which is now in St. Vincent and The Grenadines. We are looking for help with cooking, cleaning, provisioning – specifically someone who loves to cook healthy, wholesome meals of any and many cuisines for a family of three (including themselves), who will take joy in planning meals and scheduling provisions, and who likes to keep things – and their cuisine – strikingly clean. They would need to prepare a light breakfast and one meal per day.
  
  As an exchange, you will learn to sail if you are interested and explore all the beauty of the islands. This is a help exchange – you pay your travel to/from the boat, and we will cover food on the boat, sailing instruction, and a great adventure. You would be a perfect fit if you love being on/in the water, don't get seasick, and will look around for ways to help.
  
  Sailing will be around the island of Grenada and Bonaire, exploring beautiful beaches. Most of our time will be spent anchored – paddleboarding, snorkelling, etc.
  
  You will have a private cabin with a queen bed and a bathroom.
  
  We would welcome onboard a volunteer who loves to keep things clean and organized, loves cooking healthy and active, and enjoys deep conversations. We would appreciate a person who loves kids and being around kids.

  You will sleep and rest in your own bright clean and full of light guest cabin with a queen bed in our comfy sailing boat.
  
  We will do meal planning together and we love and welcome all cuisines but we are light on meat. We prefer to prepare meals from scratch with fresh ingredients a lot of fruits and vegetables and legumes. We love healthy eating habits.
