Dear Shipmates

Introduction

We are a couple of world travellers and sailors. We have sailed around New Zealand and to Tonga and Fiji (2018) and crossed the Atlantic from Spain to Saint Lucia, via Canary Islands and Cap Verde (2019). Before Covid, we cruised the Caribbean from Grenada to Puerto Rico and on to mainland US. After Covid, we crossed back to the Carribean from east coast US via the Bahamas and ended our voyage in Le Marin, Martinique in 2022. In 2023, we delivered a new catamaran from Perpignan (FR) to Malaga (ES).

We are currently travelling in South America and looking for sailing opportunities in the Americas/ Caribbean. We hope to sail back to Europe for the 2024 summer and continue sailing again in the near future. We are also interested in helping with the logistics of the Panama canal, if you might need help.

We are well accustomed to sailing and operating multi- and monohulls (45-55ft), as well as dinghies. Bought our first sailboat in september 2018 and been enjoying it since during the Finnish summers. We are used to small and big quarters and don't shy away from physical labour, maintenance work or cooking. We are eager to continue with new sailing adventures. Will follow orders, and paddle if need be.

Looking forward to hearing from you! :)
