Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I'm retired, and living on brasilian coasts, the yacht is presently in Paraty, 150 Km south of Rio.
Up to now I live and travel alone.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleancomfortableluxuriousvery safevery spacioususually single handedlive on little moneyseek adventurefind a soulmate/partnerlive off the grid

I'm french, from Brittany (BREST)
I think I'll stay in Brasil now, for I really love this fascinating country which "adopted" me so well.
The yacht is now based 250 km south of Rio de Janeiro which is a real paradise for sailing with hundreds of small and deserted islands and magnificent wild landscapes in Brazilian National Parks.
Paraty is a colonial little and gorgeous town and I'm now very well integrated in this community.

Personally, I'm a nature and sea lover, calm and romantic man.

In my life I studied Medicine in France and Sweden, worked as chief of expeditions in African deserts for the "Musee de l'Homme", Director of a great travel agency in France for 10 years, CEO of my own research company in Computer sciences, and finally Vice President of ACEM (Agence de Cooperation pour l'Europe de la mer) working closely with European Commission

Since I retired, I dedicated myself to restore the yacht which stayed 6 years abandoned in Canada.
Now the boat looks 'brand new" and gives me a lot of satisfactions.

And I'll be so happy to share the rest of my life with a suitable and nice (slim) and experienced sea-lover woman.

What is expected of the crew

clean & tidyeasy-goingfit & healthyfriendlyorganisedrespectfultrustworthyrarely/unlikely seasickgood communicatoreager to learn & workpolitepositive outlookopen mindedsense of humorcan pay own expensesdon't mind cleaninggood with maintenancewill not bring a friendwill not bring a petharmony

I'm basically waiting for a soulmate to share my peacefull life on the sea.

I'm also keen on receiving persons on board for short time. but this on a "paying guest" or "shared costs" bases or on Airbnb site (search in Paraty)

And if you need a job or just money, we could make charter together ...

Feel free to contact me, You will be welcome.
