Summary

Capable in basic seamanship, can steer, fill out a logbook, do manual labor such as grinding, painting, cleaning, man a mooring line, basically all of the jobs expected of an OS or a deck apprentice. I am obsessed with learning more regarding every facet of being a seaman and will do any job given to me with full concentration and much elan. I would also like to note down my experiences on board the vessels I visit and use them to write a book.

Work History

  • I updated, changed, duplicated about 90 routes that the trucks employed at the company used.
  • I informed drivers of their shift times, changes in shifts, changes in timetables, changes in cargo etc, and organized replacements every time a driver couldn't make it.
  • I created new timetables and schedules for all of the shuttle trucks of the company each week and assisted in filling out bills of lading as well as the necessary daily inspections of the vehicles and equipment on their trucks.
  • All of the trucks of the company drive within the United States, so, safe to say, I had to use my personal communication skills a lot to get what I needed from the varied and various drivers.

  • On this bulk carrier vessel I spent the first month working within the engine room, I noted readings from various counters and gauges, wiped away oil, did general cleaning and maintenance work, freshly painted the underside of every generator on the vessel.
  • After that first month I worked on deck doing various skilled and unskilled labor such as chipping, grinding, attaching and detaching the crane claws, as well as a lot of deck cleaning, coal shovelling, and general maintenance work.

  • It is where I first found my passion for Sailing and living at sea. On that ship I acquired many skills related to seamanship, from terrestrial navigation, to watchkeeping and a feeling for the rudder, to knots and splice work, to cleaning (lots of cleaning) and cooking as well as painting and lacquering.
  • I had the position of main logistician, meaning that I had to keep the pantry and spare parts lockers stocked on provisions as well as spare machinery parts every time we moored.
  • Organization and planning are the skills I had to develop there, and I learned to make a proper written plan of what the ship needs and when.

Aquarium Technician, Groundskeeper

Hermann Lietz Schule Spiekeroog
01.2016 - 01.2019
  • A high school situated on an east Frisian island of Spiekeroog.
  • I studied there for three years in German.
  • I was a very active member of the sailing club on the island and busied myself by working in the island’s marine biology museum, doing tours, feeding the many animals there as well as a lot of cleaning and aquarium maintenance.
  • Before I stepped on board the Johann Schmidt vessel I had been doing painting and lacquering jobs on sailing boats primarily.
  • I also worked part time at a bicycle maintenance workshop, which had occasional bursts of high pressure work, as everyone on the island primarily rode on bicycles.
  • I became a senior member in the sailing club in Belgrade, Serbia, occasionally working as an instructor for their locale on the Danube river.
