HERE WE GO FOR IT : ATLANTIC RALLYE FOR CRUISERS





Hi, we are a Guatemalan and French team and couple in life. We met in Jordan and are married since 1985, with three beautiful daughters Lise, Diane & Andrea.

This is Marc's lifelong dream ! 


But I've got the sailing virus too... and became a passion to share!




The boat we are sailing on...
TRIAD Xik'nal is our Trimaran Dragonfly 1000, sailing boat built in 1995 (coincidence our last daughter Andrea birth year!), bought in 2015. 


Our sailing adventures: 

MEDITERRANEAN SEA, FRANCE - ITALY - GREECE
Our first sailing adventure "only the two of us" was in spring 2016: we left Villeneube-Loubet marina for 2 months all the way the Mediterranean sea through Italy then long way to Greece. 
We visited great spots, meet lovely people, experienced & struggle with bad weather, some technical problems with TRIAD, but we kept our sailing.
This has been a an amazing & great experience from all perspectives. 

We are happy that all our family, friends as well as our coach where really surpised of our sailing improvements and their support was at the top of the top. 

After coming back from our first long sailing experience in 2016, Marc enrolled for the ARC 2017 (Atlantic Rallye for Cruisers), Stephane (our coach) will join us on this adventure. 


One lesson : Trust your sailing partners, trust your sailing boat, be confident, stay calm and pray, have faith, and keep it up with happiness, as after this experience we realized that life is beautiful, but short and we became so insignificant in the middle of the sea!
