"Hoisting the sails to the end of your dreams": that's a very lyrical title. Just like Magalie Jagot's way of writing. This mother of a family has an enthusiasm anchored in her body and she shares it in this book which recounts her family adventure on a catamaran.
Not specifically designed to sail, not keen on sailing, it is rather the journey that Margot and her husband Cyril are looking for above all. After a meeting in Martinique and an expatriation in New Caledonia, it was there that they came across a catamaran for sale, an amateur plywood construction that they named Pirates.com. After a little "warm-up" with sea trials, they set sail with their son Jonathan to avoid returning to the starting point after 6 years of sailing...
This book retraces the hazards of a boat trip with the financial constraints, the material difficulties, but above all the pleasure of discovery. In the end, this round the world trip allowed the crew to travel 4 continents visiting 36 countries. Starting from New Caledonia, they travelled the world not far from the tropics, crossing Cape Good Hope, Panama and then back to the starting point via Polynesia. An extraordinary experience always told with the same enthusiasm for encounters.
A 27-page notebook in the middle of the book contains black and white photos. This gives you an idea of what it means to live in the sun on a catamaran around the world.
At the heart of the story, you can find a large number of tips on stopovers, good tips and things to avoid. Departure candidates will be pleased to find this wealth of information. Lovers of travel and discovery will have another pleasant reading with human encounters and landscape discoveries.
