We are a couple, Caroline, 28 years old from France and Francesco, 29 years old from Italy, passionate about sailing and looking for people to share beautiful moments on sea. We started our journey in October 2022, we have just crossed from the Canaries to Cabo Verde and from Cape Verde to Martinique. We are now looking for a opportunities to sail in the beginning of 2023 with like-minded sea lovers: ARC Pacific, transatlantic west - > east, tour of the Caribbeans... Let's talk about it and see if our plans match. Together, we have done several sailing courses and have skippered several weeks of vacations with friends and colleagues. Francesco has been sailing since he was a child, has a coastal license and also a radio certificate. We are sociable, curious to know new things and easy-going. We like sailing, snorkeling, diving (PADI OW certified), hiking, cycling, eating and enjoying life. We are happy to help in the preparation of the trip, the navigation, the tasks during the passages and the stopovers. Most of all, we are looking to share a common passion: sailing. If you are interested, we would be happy to meet you to discuss it in person. We could also do a day of sailing together to get to know each other on the water before embarking for longer passages.
