Company for Island hopping - Caribbean

Looking for a hand and company for island hopping in the next Caribbean season (december-may). I'm planning to get to the windward islands on december and leave to Los Roques-ABC-Colombia on may 2025.

I'm Vinicius, a sailor with 5 years of experience living aboard and exploring the Brazilian east coast. My plan is to sail from Brazil to the Caribbean later this year (already have crew), with plans for a Pacific crossing next year.

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.
