Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi, my name is Mathieu, I'm a French classically trained chef turned web agency owner. I'm also a certified dive-master with 400+ dives. I live in San Francisco and have been learning how to sail in the Bay. I was crew on the Baja Haha 2023 from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas and had an amazing time. I have sailed across the Atlantic from Bermuda to Portugal via the Azores last year and had a great time! I'm very social, friendly, healthy/strong, and not subject at all to seasickness, more the type to love cooking in the mess when things get rowdy. I love the ocean more than anything else, can cut and prep a 60 lbs tuna, and climb a mast. I'm eager to learn and help, and am generally very good with human interactions. I am also fully bilingual French & English.
