Crew needed for cruising

Hi there,

I'm Vinicius, a sailor with several years of experience living aboard and exploring the Brazilian east coast. Now it’s time to sail abroad. My plan is to sail from Brazil to the Caribbean later this year, with plans for a Pacific crossing next year.

This advert is for a passage from northeast Brazil to Grenada, with stops in Natal, Ilha dos Lençóis, and Salut Islands in French Guyana. The total distance is 2,000 miles, with about 15 days at sea and 15-20 days exploring the stops. Departure is planned between October 20th and 30th.

While I occasionally sail solo, I prefer having company. I'm looking for a proactive crew member eager to learn navigation and help out. I've welcomed many aboard my boat and enjoy sharing the experience.

The boat, Black Dog, is a 32 ft aluminum sailboat launched in 2017, featuring twin keels, and a modern cruiser design. I'm passionate about cooking, primarily vegan or vegetarian meals (with occasional fish). Music, sports, environmental concerns, and reading are important to me.

Expenses onboard (food and diesel) will be shared. I look forward to embarking on this adventure with the right companion. We have Starlink for connectivity.

Spent a month sailing together in the coast of Brasil. Highly recommend the experience, good captain, cook, nice to spent time with, share making some music, meeting new places, learning more about sailing and sharing culture. The sailboat is so comfortable and such a nice design, vini has shown his years of experience in the sea with black dog and knows all its tricks.
