Description
Hi, I'm Richard, looking for help getting my schooner ready to sail in beautiful Rio Dulce, Guatemala. It's not a luxury yacht, but a proven expedition vessel that I've sailed to Antarctica and the Arctic, among other places.
Types of help and learning opportunities
DIY and building projects
Creating/ Cooking family meals
General Maintenance
Help with Computers/ Internet
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can learn about boats, knots&splices, sailing, rowing. The area is a beautiful place to explore by rowboat, and you are free to use mine.
There are opportunities to meet with other cruisers, and potentially sail away with them, or with me when I sail to Panama.
Help
I'm looking for help with:
* cooking meals & food shopping
* general cleaning, mostly with water, soap, baking soda, vinegar
* minor carpentry
* painting
* drilling holes
* sewing (generally thick fabric that you use a sailmakers palm with--I have both right and left-handed palms)
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Spanish: Intermediate
French: Beginner
Accommodation
You'll sleep on one of five beds. There are privacy curtains on each bed, but not separate cabins. The beds have fans for cooling, and space to store personal items.
What else ...
Things to see in the area include waterfalls, a historic fort and hiking trails.
There are many shops/bars/restaurants in easy walking distance.
There are public lanchas to get places by water, ie to Livingston.
There are tuktuks to take for nearby places (or you can walk), and collectivos (minivans) to take to go farther.
Please note there is no smoking on the boat.
