Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hello, my name is Jean I'm 39 years old, I'm from Brazil and thats where I grew up, I moved to Canada in 2015. I Have been fascinated by sailing since I was a teenager. I'm a big fan of the earlier navigators and any kind of primitive knowledge.

In the last 2 years I had the chance to start taking sail courses and move forward towards the horizon, I have completed the Basic Cruising course with Sail Canada in 2021, Bareboat Skipper in 2022 with IYT and the VHF course.

In 2023 I went on a 2 weeks sail trip from Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlote Island) to Vancouver through the West side of Vancouver Island and back to the city on a beautiful 51’ schooner, I’m also very kitchen enthusiastic.

In April 2024 we set sail from Mexico to French Polynesia, 25 days passage and 45 days total.

My schedule is quite flexible and same with my departure and destination. If you need an extra hand give me a shout.
