Second Wind - YB Connect Message from Sylvie Furtado



In honour of our skipper Eduardo M Furtado s/v Second Wind.

Eduardo was born on the small island of Terceira, Azores and grew up in a family of seven with love and care. They relocated to Angola and later returned to continental Portugal.

While living on that small island a dream was born; the ocean looked so appealing Eduardo started drawing submarine, hoping to one day travel the ocean and live out great adventures.

His dream was put aside when as a young man he left his loving family to make a living in Canada. Then, as often happens, obligation prevented the dream from unfolding, but the sailboat photos on the wall and the annual visit to the boat show with his children kept the dream alive.

About 17 years ago, he finally purchased his first sailboat and started sailing towards bigger and bigger boats and as the boat grew, so did his sailing experience until finally the cat came about.

In 2013 he acquired Second Wind in Belize. With three years of sailing in the Caribbean and the United States, he felt it was now or never. This is when the journey to cross the Atlantic Ocean became a reality and an accomplished dream.

He firmly believe that everything in life starts with a dream; an objective to keep a person motivated and healthy.

Thank you for taking us all on your beautiful adventure
