Senegal - Bresil, on a sail boat from Peeenlair on Vimeo.
Nous avons trouver un moyen original pour traverser l'ocean atlantique : Le bateau stop !
Nous sommes tout simplement allé au CVD (le Club de Voile de Dakar), et avons parlé aux skippers à la recherche d'une embarquation.
Coup de pot, au bout de 3 jours, nous avons trouver un skipper qui nous prenait.
Ce petit film retrace en quelques images notre transat, avec passage de l'equateur pour la premiere fois par la mer !

We have found an original way to cross the atlantic ocean : boat - hitchhiking !
We went to the CVD (Dakar Sailing Club) and discused with the different skipper to know if they could take us along... and we got lucky ! After only 3 days, we've met a skipper who accepted to take us as crew.
This short film relates our transat, with our first crossing of the Equador by sea...

Amazing!!!! What a dream trip!
Nice boat! I did a 26 day crossing from Mexico to French Polynesia. My background soundtrack wasn’t a soothing Morcheeba song, though, it was something a little more terrified and nauseating.
That’d be my biggest worry about sailing the open ocean — the seasickness, followed closely by storms, injuring myself and cabin fever.
Hi Torre !
I’m the one who did the video ;) (thanks Dave for posting it here :-p)
We were actually quite lucky I guess, with only 1 storm that lasted about 2 hours and 1 day of pretty big sea, but by the end of the trip… so we were already accustomed to the sea !
The whole experience was great though :-)
