Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Young sailor from Portugal, I celebrate my 3rd Atlantic cross and the 1st as a skipper on a delivery.

I have gathered a vast experience in only 4 years I’ve sailed almost 20.000NM on 32 sailing boats, which gives me a lot of good understanding of different types of boats, with different captains and different situations and things to learn.

I’m very keen to spend most of my time living on water

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

As i am a traveller by nature, I found this new dream: become a sailor and find my own boat to live and move around the globe :)
Ive crossed the Atlantic on December 2020 from Gibraltar to Antigua through Canaries and Cape Verde, started working on private boats during full season. Then, in Panama I’ve crossed the canal twice and spent second season in the Caribbean cruising and working. By now, 2 full years over water, I’ve met 24 different captains in 24 different boats, which makes my experience at sea worth and richest!
Meantime, I’ve applied for STCW (completed) and RYA skippers and I’m always trying to find boats where I can join and learn more..
I usually adopt a healthy menu based on fish and veggies but I prepare all type of food and love preparing gourmet :)) I’m good with hands (designer, architect, carpenter, builder, bamboolover) and multi tasking, as I am bamboo builder I also know a lot about knots, ropes and cables , and I’m very well organized and cleanliness, always ready for any task, there’s no bad and good tasks, everything has to be done so, I’m very hands on approach ;) Anything your boat needs to be fixed (carpentry, plumbing and some electricals) I have handy skills if you provide me the right tools :))

I love nature and the sea! Love to be surrounded by fun and adventure! As an experienced traveler, I’m very easy to adapt to cultures and very flexible on easy going with different people and different environments.

As my dream is to find the right boat for myself to refurbish, I’m very interested in learning everything about mechanics, electricals, solar panels, generator, etc. and I’m happy to climb up the mast when required :))
