This 27-year-old from Brittany is currently in the Canary Islands. After a few years in a conventional routine, he decided to travel differently. He has already completed a first offshore passage from Gibraltar with an international crew. He wants to join a new sailboat to continue on to Cape Verde or the Caribbean, with the longer-term goal of reaching Mexico without taking a plane. His departure is hoped for on 8 November 2026, for a passage of about 20 days, between the Canary Islands and Martinique. He discovered sailing during a week at sea in the Adriatic in April 2026, where he learned the basics: night watches, handling lines, trimming sails, knots and navigation. His crossing from Gibraltar to the Canaries gave him confidence and a better idea of life on board. He still considers himself a beginner, but he is very motivated to learn from experienced sailors. Serious, respectful, organized and easygoing, he is ready to take part in watches and lookout duty, maneuvers, cooking, errands, cleaning and maintaining the boat. He is aware that offshore sailing requires solidarity, patience and teamwork. He travels without a fixed program or return date, and enjoys nature, meeting people and cultural exchanges. He wants to take his time, do volunteer work and learn more about permaculture and sustainable ways of living.
