Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hello I'm Charles, 35 years old. I'm spending my time between work and travel. In France, I'm a bar manager and during these last few years I traveled in many differents places all around the world and met so many amazing people! During those trips I felt in love with scuba diving. So I went all the way up to the PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor course, which I did in Thailand. I've done an Atlantic crossing between November and December 2020, from France to Martinique, with was an amazing aventure. I'm an eager learner and don't have any delusions into the hard work it takes to run a vessel. It's a work that I am most looking forward to because it is how I will learn. I am open to any trip if the opportunity presents to itself. Sailing with a great crew would be a wonderful accomplishment in my life.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans
