    Description

    Bom dia.

    I'm a French (Breton from Brest) retired captain.
    I live (alone) on my sailing boat (Samson C-Baron 18m)
    Presently in Paraty, marvellous colonial city (1667), 200 Km south of Rio de Janeiro with magnificent landscape, islands and beaches
    The boat is normally anchored in Paraty bay, one minute by motor dinghy from tourist pier, in the centre of historical town

    UPDATE : I'm often doing charter sailing in the islands with paying guests, so it's impossible for me to plan the time where I can host workawayers.
    So, contact me only when you are about to arrive in Paraty.

    UPDATE 2 : Considering the kind of requests I'm receiving, especially from hard dreamers, I want to meet volunteers on land before accepting them on board.
