Dear Shipmates

Introduction

American and French couple who have been living abord since 2019. We enjoy moving at a slow pace as we work (remotely) while traveling full time. Sometimes one of us needs to travel abroad so we look for crew so the other can continue moving the boat. Also, for longer overnight passages we enjoy having another person or two.

In 2025, I (Carl, American, Male) will be moving the boat from Greece back to Atlantic France. The exact destination is TBD but not further south than La Rochelle nor further north than Brest.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleancomfortablevery safevessel is survey certifiedvisit remote placesfulfill a dreamlearn a languageface challengesmulticultural

The boat is very well equipped with safety gear, extremely well maintained and updates. All new electrical system, electronics, radios, rigging (standing and running). The skipper (me) has a passion for maintenance and safety.

What is expected of the crew

clean & tidyeasy-goingenthusiasticfriendlyrespectfultrustworthyconfident swimmerrarely/unlikely seasickgood listenergood communicatoreager to learn & workpositive outlookopen mindedsense of humorwill not bring a bicycle

The Skipper (me) is patient and a teacher by profession (outside sailing). Willing to share sailing with novices and willing to learn from experienced crew. I love traveling, food and meeting new people.

Crew should be open to new experiences, rarely seasick or had experience with it to know your limits and be able to communicate them.
