Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Fully vaccinated. Looking for crew to sail offshore. I am an expert captain with more than 100,000 miles in several oceans. My boat is always neat and well kept. I believe a boat is like a plane and should be in perfect working status.. I like everything in its place; I believe stuff should be found even without lights, in a stormy night.
Reference Letters:

"Florida, March 2014.
To Whom It May Concern,
As a former crew for Dr Edward, I am writing this letter of recommendation.
On several occasions over the last ten years, I have had the pleasure accompanying Dr. Edward on several trips, both here in the United States, as well as in Europe. He is an excellent captain, with safety as his number one priority. His current boat has all the latest in navigational equipment. The boat itself is beautiful and always immaculate.
Dr. Edward is a great sailing companion. He is respectful, kind, easy to get along with, with a good sense of humor. I would not hesitate to sail again with him, if I had the time and ability to do so.
Every trip was fun, educational and memorable. I highly recommend if you have an opportunity to sail, as crew, with Dr Edward, that you take the opportunity.. Randy S., Female, CFO "

“To Whom It May Concern, Edward is an accomplished navigator with many years of experience sailing all over the world and practicing this sport since his teenage years. Has participated in local and international competitions, Eduardo is totally mindful of safety first above any other consideration. His boat is state of the art and has all of the necessary equipment to navigate safely anywhere in the world. On a personal level, he is serious about sailing and fun to be with. I will not hesitate to sail again in the future. Jorge N. S., CEO”

To whom it may concern: I have known Mr. Edwardo for 10 years and had the opportunity to sail with him for 8 years. Mr. Edwardo seamanship is outstanding. His skills at operating a sailing vessel were only surpassed by his strong attention to safety. Mr. Edwardo’ sailing skills, from my own experience of having observed him captain various sailing boats are of the highest order, his navigation knowledge is excellent including the use of all instrumentation.
Sincerely, Graciela C. Psicologhist."
