Hi everyone! I'm Lucas, 27, from France. I'm currently travelling around the world without flying, with the dream of reaching South America and eventually Mexico by sea and overland. I'm looking to join a boat for an Atlantic crossing from the Canary Islands or Cape Verde towards the Caribbean or South America. I'm flexible with departure dates and destinations, and happy to adapt to the right boat and crew. - My sailing experience I'm still a beginner, but I've already had two great sailing experiences: Adriatic Sea – April 2026: One week of sailing, learning the basics of watchkeeping, sail handling, manoeuvres, navigation and knots. Gibraltar to the Canary Islands – November 2026: Completed an offshore passage with an international crew, taking part in night watches, sail handling, manoeuvres and daily life on board. I'm keen to gain more offshore experience, improve my sailing skills and become a reliable member of the crew. - What I can bring on board I'm easy-going, adaptable, respectful and motivated. I'm happy to participate in watchkeeping, sailing manoeuvres, cooking, cleaning and general boat maintenance. I enjoy teamwork and understand that life at sea requires responsibility, patience and a positive attitude. I'm also happy to contribute fairly to shared expenses. - A little more about me I love nature, outdoor activities, discovering new cultures and meeting people from different backgrounds. I enjoy simple things, good conversations and spontaneous adventures. I'm not in a rush and would rather share a great journey with the right crew than simply get from one place to another. If you're planning an Atlantic crossing and looking for an enthusiastic extra pair of hands, I'd be happy to hear from you!
