Dear Shipmates

Introduction

The boat underwent a serious refit in 2022 as it sailed over 50000 miles . We were caught by Covid while in a yacht club up river Parana in Rosario . Due to the draught of that year we only were able to leave a year later to Europe . Despite the uncertainty we had a marvellous time; when the Quarantaine opened up, and have a lot of wonderfull friends there . We were on our way to Patagonia .After return we split up as interests ashore were not as common as it was on board . Still I would like to return and visit Patagonia . Yoga is important to me and in most ports I was able to find a class we could join, or did our own practice on a quiet spot . I am looking for someone who enjoys the travel , yoga, curious about the places we visit , hiking and inland visits . As this is a longer trip I would appreciate to meet first, eventually some shorter trip, so we know each other prior starting this voyage. Something between Azores , portugal , canarias Madeira; subject your flight possibilities.
