Web series / Tivano, tips for living on water


Julia and Gabriel, these two little blond heads, send us news of their anchorage in the Canaries. A message that describes the pleasure of making the first encounters with navigators in the long short.

After a short stop in Madeira, Tivano and his family crew made their way to the Canaries. First stop at Graciosa, the northernmost island of the archipelago.

This time it's done! The crew has entered full cruise mode. At the Charlotte stopover, La Maman, is surprised to discover sailing ships from all horizons, from all countries. Evenings on the beach are the meeting place for all these crews. The opportunity to exchange on the programs and on the expectations of each one, to discover the modes of navigation of the others. These exchanges allow us to think about the rest of the journey, to glimpse stages that we had not imagined. Charlotte discreetly slips in:"We're changing our plans, we should cross the Pacific in May..." These stops are also important for children who can meet others and make friends.

The"cruise" mode really takes on its full meaning and Charlotte understands the importance of autonomy in both electricity and water. The nearest village is 30 minutes walk in the sand and under the sun. So there's no question of bringing back water cans. The watermaker works hard to meet water needs.
