Dear Shipmates
Introduction
I learned to sail as a child. I rented catamarans with skipper between 45 and 55 years old to visit Corsica, Croatia and the Grenadines with my family.
Now retired after a career as an engineer and manager in IT, I am training as a skipper and I sail with owners to gain experience and have a good time. Last cruising mindelo trinidad on a 46' catamaran.
A little about myself, my interests and my plans

Pleased to discover new places by sail (galicia, baleares, british virgin islands, greece), master ocean navigation and the weather ... and finally buy my own sailboat
My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

I also sail to meet people and create my international network for sailing. Not yet self confident as a skipper
