| Hello, We are two young travelers and would like to cross the Atlantic (from France or the Canaries or Cape Verde) to the Caribbean and / or Central America. We are ready to leave on January 10. Antoinette has notions of sailing thanks to few courses in sea navigation. Raphaël has already made the transatlantic race in February 2017 from Cape Verde to Brazil, on a Figaro with 2 other teammates. We both studied in water sciences: hydrology, meteorology, maritime hydraulics, drinking water. Once there we would like to work in the water sector. We love to swim, discover the fish, climb and hike, read, play! We love to share moments of adventure and are available for any contact on the phone or real contact. We love to cook with the means at hand, always inventive. Let yourself be tempted by dishes from our roots: Brazil for its feijoada and Poland for its pierogi. It's up to you to guess the ingredients! We hope to be able to live this trip with you and participate in all tasks on board: navigation, good atmosphere and friendliness, cooking and cleaning! Raphael: 0608965158 and [email protected] Antoinette: 0632178931 and [email protected] | |
