Ketchikan,AK
Summary
Outstanding leader and crew member...from a crew of 3 as Captain, to a crew of 7 as Mate/Tankerman...I am the one that works extra hard, never complains and improves morale. I love sailing; I am a tough Alaskan; and I'm a team player. I have some radical experience including an actual storm-caused, lost barge in Queen Charlotte Sound and a blown tow winch at the Columbia River Bar.
Skilled in communicating tasks to crew members and liaising with shoreside for vessel support.
Prepared to fulfill the job of either Mate/Tankerman or AB Tankerman and bring value to a crew. Proven history of performing outstanding equipment maintenance. Robust knowledge of marine engineering.
