Dear Captain John,

I would to apply as an outdoorsman, an all around explorer.  I have extensive knowledge various plants.  I can specify and categorize what berries or roots you can eat or can't.  I know how to steer a kayak down a river efficiently and safely.  I am a certified sailor (meaning I can command a sixteen foot sailboat alone)  by the Santa Barbara Sailing Center.  I am strong and fit, meaning I wont perish in the harsh conditions we will face.  I am a good problem solver.  I can also identify places to go and places to avoid on a map.  
During the expedition I hope to learn more from the natives of the land.  I think they will be the best people to learn from considering the way they live.  I will record my findings in a journal.

Austin
