Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hello There, I am Gustavo from Portugal. I am a fun (or someone tricked me into thinking that), sea loving and hardworking person looking to learn more about sailing and meeting new people with interesting stories and life experiences.

I speak Portuguese, English and Spanish fluently and also a little French. I have worked and traveled through several countries (as a teacher but doing other things as well) and I am driven by the desire to have new experiences and learn more and more. I have always lived close to the sea (until recently that I am stuck more inland in Madrid).

I spent 6 weeks as a volunteer aboard the tall ship Galeón Andalucia, where I learned not only about sailing and general nautical aspects but a bit of everything like aspects of maintenance, navigation and communication systems, preparation for emergency situations, cooking, cleaning, night and security watches, piloting etc. We went from Calais in the north of France, down to the Cantabrian Sea and then around Galicia and Portugal into the Mediterranean coast of Spain. The longest nonstop sail was 7 days.

I then sailed from La Línea de la Concepción in Spain to Lanzarote in the Canaries with a family which took us about 5 days and was great experience as crew on a more standard sailing boat.

I did the Atlantic crossing East to West, from Cape Verde to Martinique, a much longer crossing which proved challenging but where I consolidated a lot of previous learning and some more. After that, I sailed again as a crew from Barbate in Spain to Tunisia, with a stop over in Sardinia a fun but active crossing that took us about 10 days in total.

I have a lot more to learn still but I believe I can be a very helpful deckhand and a great addition to your crew.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I consider myself a very respectful and organized person but who definitely doesn't have a hard time finding fun in life and remaining positive even in hard situations. I love learning languages and traveling and I am also passionate about History. I have lived in Greece, Colombia, Spain and Portugal which has allowed me to have great and challenging experiences of different kinds.

I believe cooperation and understanding are the keys for a better society whether at sea or inland, and improving our surroundings and community is definitely a pillar objective in my life. I love to chat and share but I am also very considerate of other peoples space.

My plans are for now to learn more about sailing, travel a bit then head home and repeat. Other than that my plan is to pursue a career in teaching which is one of my great passions.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

My motivation to crew is to learn more, become more experienced and live adventures. Theres no better way of learning than by doing.
