Dear Shipmates
Introduction
I have a lot of sailing experience. I am a qualified Yachtmaster offshore with 4 seasons of experience aboard professional yachts. I have sailed over 16,000 NM, mostly offshore, on both monohulls and catamarans. In addition, I have raced 2 consecutive seasons in the Classic Regatta scene.
Besides sailing miles, spearfishing and freediving is what I enjoy doing most.
A little about myself, my interests and my plans

Besides sailing, I enjoy spearfishing, freediving (I'm an instructor) and I've recently taken up kitesurfing. I'm social, easy going and a good cook.
My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

We are currently crossing the Atlantic and planning to arrive in Martinique around 27/01/2024. Everything is going well, but we will have to leave the boat we are on and bid farewell to the owners as their family joins them in Martinique Our plans are to make our way to Curocoe but we are pretty open and free to go in any direction. For the time being we will probably explore Martinique and enjoy the island as much as possible before we join another vessel
We won't have much contact as our usage of the starlink is limited but I will get back to anyone reaching out as soon as we arrive in Martinique
