Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Well...I'm 60 now, and live aboard at least 6 months/year.
I'm an easy going person, respectful, still in good shape.
I'm getting more and more experienced, sailed from Europe to Brazil and to the Carribeans on my further cat, helped preparing in la Rochelle a new Trimaran for a world sailing, sailed a part of mediterranean sea on a monohul, travelled several months by van through France and Italy...
I'm back in the Carribean area since 2021, the yacht brought us safely to Panama, through Puerto Rico and Cuba.
Back to Panama last year, from Guatemala, with stops in the Bay Islands, and Providencia...I plan to spend the next season between Bocas and Columbia, with of course a long stop in the San Blas again...sailing to Columbia would also be an option, will depend on the conditions and the timing .
About the boat, the plans, and current crew
usually cleancomfortablevery safevery spaciousshare experienceseek adventureface challengesfind a soulmate/partner
The boat is a comfortable and well equiped sloop, not healing too much and easy to manoeuvre...the central cockpit is very secure and offers a huge back cabin.
There is also a front cabin, inside and outside shower, toilet, kitchen, fridge, etc...
The boat received a brain new watermaker(35l/h), a nice arch for solar power, and a new hull paint.
The plan is no longer for the moment to cross the Pacific, I have to spend some months every year in France, taking care of my mother, and make some money to travel again.
But I still think of crossing the Pacific one day, and spent some (long) time in the Marquises and French Polynesia...
What is expected of the crew
easy-goingenthusiasticfit & healthyrespectfulskilledtravel light (little luggage)open mindedsense of humorcan pay own expensesharmony
I'm looking for nice and fullfilling adventures again...!If you like sailing, snorkeling, kayaking, swimming, visiting new places, socializing and having fun with other boaters or local people, listening to music, watching movies, reading...ah, and playing chest of course!(if not, I could of course teach you how to), just let a chance for things to happen...life is short!
