| My name is Bou Breedijk. I am living in Amsterdam. Since 16 years I have my own sailing boat, a Westerley Riviera. Mostly i sail on the IJselmeer, this is a big lake in the middle of Holland, and the sea between the islands above Holland, called the Waddenzee. Also i did a few trips to England with my boat. Three years ago i sailed to the island of Wight. The way back i followed the coast of France and Belgium. The last 4 years i was a skipper during a few weeks in the summertime, and i sailed with guests in Kroatien with a 50 ft Bavaria and Greek with a 56 ft Bavaria. I should like to join the crew of a sailing boat this years and make the sailing trip from Canary Islands Cape Verde to the Caribien. Hope i can can be a crew member on your ship. Of course i know i have to pay to share the costs. | |
