Looking for a Novice Crew, Friendship, Competent Crew or Voluntary work position
Hello !
I am Loïc, 32 years old from Marseille, south France.
I try to make a sailing and hitch-hiking tour of the world since November 2023.
After an Atlantic crossing on a Bali 42, I stayed sailing on 4 different boats in the Carribeans, Saint-Martin, the British Virgin Islands and all across the shallow Bahamas seas until I reached South Florida in late April 2024.
Since then I am hitch-hiking across North America, crossed the USA and Canada, reached Alaska and the Arctic Ocean, and now I am going down to the central and south Americas.
I look to embark as a crew on a sailing boat across the Pacific in order to reach French Polynesia and the Marquesas Islands. I'm available for the next season, from March 2025.
I already sailed in various boats, with both french-speaking and english-speaking crews and captains. I was on catamarans, a monohull, a goelette and 2 different ketch.
All my sailings went very well, I am easy-going but can be dynamic when needed. I am still learning every day but already very fine with night-watching, cooking, some of the basic maneuvers, maintaining the boat clean. My Atlantic crossing from Sicily to Saint-Martin was a delivery of a new boat and we had the mission to keep it brand new, which went very fine.
I am flexible, I can move to meet in person or have a video call for a first contact.
Let me know :)
Best regards to all,
Loïc from Marseille
