| I'm Fernando, I'm 55 years old and since I can remember I've always liked the sea. Although I live in Madrid I have been practicing light sailing since I was a child. Every year I sail in the Balearic Islands and the Galician coast renting sailboats with friends or in yatch racings but I have never cruise for more than 3 days. I have a Yacht Skipper qualification that allows me to take boats of 24 mts, at 150 Mn. I like eating and cooking. Nature and reading. I am a good companion in the good moments as well in the difficult ones. I would like to enlist in a boat that sails the ARC, or cruising from Europe to America this fall 2024. Thank you very much and good bow. Hola a todos. Soy Fernando, tengo 55 años y desde que recuerdo siempre me ha gustado el mar. Aunque vivo en Madrid he estado practicando vela ligera desde pequeño. Todos los años navego en Baleares y la costa Gallega alquilando veleros con amigos o en regatas pero nunca he hecho una travesía de más de 3 días. Tengo titulación de Patrón de Yate que me permite llevar barcos de 24 mts, a 150 Mn. Me gusta comer y cocinar. La naturaleza y la lectura. Soy buen compañero en los buenos momentos y tb en los difíciles. Me gustaría enrolarme en algún barco que navegue la ARC, o travesía de Europa a América este otoño de 2024. Muchas gracias y buena proa. | |
