Description
45 year old, easy going, living in Amsterdam. I have a little houseboat and a garden 10 km from the city and I would love someone to help me doing construction work on the houseboat. You can stay in the gardenhouse. It is a beautifull place for contemplation. There is a cano to wonder off in the creeks around. I play chess and tennis and guitar and I work as a skipper. I speak English and Spanish.

So lucky to run into Rhys. He stayed with me for 3 weeks in november helping me scraping and painting the hull of the boat. He is a nice, trustworthy, hardworking, fun loving guy and I'm sure to meet him again bringing her to sea. Cheers mate
