A doctor is needed for an Atlantic crossing to the Bahamas on a tall ship.
Adventure Under Sail Operations Manager Kellie Grice provided these details. Contact Kellie directly for more info.
We are looking for a qualified doctor to do an Atlantic crossing onboard the tall ship Pelican of London as part of the voyage “Ocean College”.
This would mean sailing with us from the 19th of February in the Caicos Islands, till the 5th of April in Vigo. We may be able to let them join in Bermuda on the 7th of March if they could not come for the whole time.
Ocean College is a programme with 31 young people aged 15 to 18 onboard. They are schooled by 4 teachers whilst sailing a loop of the Atlantic over a 6 month period. There will be 7 permanent ship’s crew aboard. Full details of the programme can be found at www.oceancollege.eu.
The doctor should be confident with issuing prescription drug from the medical kit, and happy to deal with any accidents which occur onboard. We do have satellite communications that can be used to contact shore based medical support if they require it in the event of an emergency. We hope that their skills as a doctor will not be used on route, so anyone with some knowledge about sailing, or desire to learn would be ideal. Then they can also get involved with day to day life aboard the ship.
They will be in a shared cabin, with bunk beds. All food will be supplied onboard and the cost of their flights will be covered. Please pass on my details to anyone who may be interested. Thanks!
Kind regards,
Kellie Grice
