Marine and Olivier have just returned from a 2-year trip on their 40-foot aluminium sailboat: Karemo. With them were their children Philippine and Guilhem who were initially 15 months and 3 years old. Leaving from mainland France, their wake will take them on a tour of the Canaries, Cape Verde and then after the Transat the West Indies before heading for Panama. A transpacific one follows. Before arriving in Polynesia. That's where they're going to sell their boat and come back to France.
Instead of writing a logbook, Marine tells their odyssey in the form of naive drawings. In all humility, she kindly opened her sketchbooks to share with us the daily life of a family that lives on her sailboat.
Be careful, they talk about pee poo, but also about failed manoeuvres or technical problems.
