| Hi. I live on a 58' Wauquiez Pilot Saloon. In 2021 I decided to realize a lifelong dream and bought a boat . I picked it up in Port Camargue. Since then I have circled the Med for a year and last autumn made my way down to the Canaries and crossed the Atlantic with the ARC. I have been making my way north island hopping and now am in Miami heading north I make passages with family and friends but frequently need to round out the crew with someone else. Thus, I find myself here. PS. The site asks me to specify where I am based. I chose Spain but of course I am not based anywhere :) | |
