Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I'm Riccardo from Venice, Italy. I'm 34 years old, I love the sea and every activity connected to it. I have a bit of experience in different fields of sailing but I am looking to make it bigger. My girlfriend and I recently crossed the Atlantic from Canary Island to Bahamas helping with the sailing, nightwatches, cleaning, cooking and all the tasks involved and required. We are good teammates, hardworkers, nice, positive and trustable... And we can't wait to set the sails up!
