  • Description

    Description

    We have a two bedroom apt in a quiet , residential neighborhood, and need someone to do help with home repairs. I can teach all the skills and mostly need a helping hand. You would have your own bedroom.

    I am not sailing now but might be able to get a friend to take us out.
    The house is located one hour from anywhere in Manhattan. The train is $2.75 and five blocks walking distance.


    I have been taking people sailing for over 33 years. I sold my boat in 2021, August but still help find crew for friends. I have been on another hosting /surfing website for 12 years with over 165 references.

    Public transportation to the center of New York is about an hour. I also take people to museums,The Bronx Zoo and the NY Botanical Garden. I like growing mushrooms, ukulele, boxing, photography, video production, riding motorcycles, restoring old sports cars, and horseback riding.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I am a born and bred New Yorker. Every year I am available to show people around NY. I have memberships to the New York Botanical Garden. Many of my 200+ guests (from other site) have said in their references, that sailing on my boat was one of their best experiences in their travels. I have been active on the couchsurfing hosting site since 2012 with over 165 references.
