I’ve always been passionate about the sea! ​

The photo below on the left, taken in 1976 when I was 8 years old (I’m on the right), marks the beginning of my journey with the ocean. Together with my brother Marcus (on the left) and under the guidance of the phenomenal Chief Jarbas (middle), I began as a Sea Scout with the sole ambition of one day sailing around the world, crossing all the oceans on the planet.
