About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I host on my sailing boat!!! (Jeanneau 42,2 place for four guest), I'm presently in Sciacca, Sicily.

Would you like to dance?

ABOUT ME

For the last 15 years, I achieve to have a good job in a jet engine repair & overall shop, a nice house, a car, a barbecue... Than I have been contaminated (or saved!) by CouchSurfing. Since aircraft engine are not really the best social fellows, I get rid of all those uninteresting things (I even didn't kept the barbecue!...), and after 35 years in Canada, bought a one way ticket to Paris, bought a motorcycle the day of my arrival, went down to Bonifacio (Corsica) to refresh my sailing skills and now, looking for my future floating home!...I can’t wait to welcome my first guest aboard!Life is beautiful...Damned, time fly! Quick update; I found my paradise in Croatia, a beautiful 42' Jeanneau that I moved to Tunisia, 1200 nautical miles away... everybody welcome!

PHILOSOPHY

Athéiste convaincue, et fortement croyant!
Live absolutely peacefully and scare less, without any god telling me when to breathe, and when to stop!...
I refuse to believe, I feel and think. And for the rest every body knows that the answer is 42!

Music, Movies, and Books

I got a book published in 1750 (with warm hole!) titled L'Antilucrèce, a fabulous book against the emptiness in space, they should be something...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sail everything to sail!...

Nearly been crush by a 50 feet truck, when trying to find the right exposure for an amazing Northern Light, you can see the result in my photos!
Wok up for the last ten years (!) to go to work.
Try to grew a fig tree in my garden (I know, we got -20°C during winter, but many Italians in Montréal did it and I got a tête de cochon (Stubborn).
