Skils


I have worked around water since my first job as a lifeguard and in the past 5 years I have developed many boating related skills working around sail and powerboats. I have learned a lot from using a 50+ year old derreck to lift 200+ boats in and out of Wilmette Harbor each spring and fall. I have had to work alone or in small groups to figure out problems boatowners have with their slips or their boats themselves. I have provided great customer service to boat owners and love helping patrons figure out their problems. I have worked on dinghy repairs, plumbing, electrical, and carpentry all at the Wilmette Harbor.
