I am pleased to recommend Dan Irwin for any deckhand, mate, or crew position aboard a marine vessel.

Dan has extensive experience in piloting and navigation, including negotiating locks, drawbridges, and dockings with confidence and precision. He is fully capable of completing nighttime crossings as a solo pilot. In addition, he has a strong mechanical and technical aptitude; Dan is able to diagnose issues involving engines, generators, electrical systems, electronics, and other onboard equipment, and he can perform most repairs while underway.

I completed an 800-mile vessel delivery with Dan and would gladly work with him again on any future passages. He is a valuable asset to any voyage or crew.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.”
