| Nationality: | France |
| Currently based in: | Bordeaux, France |
| Looking for: | Worldwide opportunities |
| Experience: | 0 ocean miles / 50 coastal miles |
| We are two French, Julia and Benjamin, both 28 years old. We are still novice crew members (a one week cruise training at the french sailing school "les glénans") and we are looking for some mile building opportunities ! The atlantic crossing will be the first stage, as we are aiming to the french polynesian islands afterwards. We are eager to participate in the every day work, navigation, cooking, cleaning, etc... that will be necessary, whichever be the wheather. And of course, sharing laughs, fun and good time as well. We are ocean lovers (surfer and kite surfer) and being good sailors is our new goal ! We are currently in France. | |
