Details
Description
I am from a town in Galicia with a sea and I have several boats, a sailboat and a wooden one. I am dedicated to restoring old boats and sailing the estuary as a hobby.
Types of help and learning opportunities
DIY and building projects
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Being able to navigate in one of the boats on the river with sailing navigation is something that I think is different in this cultural exchange.
I will be able to teach the maintenance of boats, from mechanics, painting, carpentry and all the tasks related to the boat and exchange opinions about it
The location is Rianxo, an old fishing village where the main activity is mussel rafts and sardine fishing. It has a very large promenade with several trails to walk or run, 2 very large main beaches. It is a hobby of restoring ships and putting them to work
Help
The tasks that can be carried out on the boats are general restoration, carpentry, mechanics, painting, electricity, plumbing ... all the tasks of the boat.
The tasks to be carried out on the ship will focus on promoting what you like the most and where you have more knowledge about the restoration, being able to give the tasks that the volunteer likes the most

This was my first workaway experience.
I stayed with xuan two weeks in December and I really enjoy that time.
I had lots of time for myself and every time I had to work I did nice things.
Of course, I really like the sea and anything is close to that.
Xuan's language skills are not the best but actually he tried always to do his best and… read more
