| Hello, how are you? My name is Thiago would you like a spot on your sailboat. I grew up in Florianópolis("Floripa" for short) is a island/coastal city in southern Brazil is full of gorgeous beaches and nature, including a large lagoon. Though famous for its beaches, Floripa also has great hikes and beautiful forested mountains, where i gained most of my sailing experience sailing and living small boats, over time I have increased the size of the boats and nowadays I am getting more experience because I will do the tests for the RYA qualifications, in particular the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore and Yachtmaster Ocean Certificates of Competence, are recognised and respected around the world. Qualification as a RYA Yachtmasterk™ is for me the ultimate aims, both professional and recreational. My goal would be to go to the season between Caribbean and St. jonh islands to gain more experience. I am a family member / friend / faithful / honest / sincere and now I have reached a stage of my life where I go after my dreams. I have no problems in any work inside the boat and would be very happy to always help. I love and do all sports and water sports so if you have the opportunity just invite me. It is a great pleasure if we can meet each other. I am now in Colombia, I came here from Brazil sailing and we were going to visit the whole Caribbean but due to the flu the trip stopped in Cartagena. I have tickets purchased for St. Jonh and will be able to travel after April 27 when airports will reopen in Colombia. Thiago | |
