Description
Hi, I am Antoine. I am from France and I work on everything related to resiliency and autonomy/ off-grid living.
The project aboard is to sail to farms, ecovillages, and communities to learn from them and help where we can. We aim is to be a sort of floating library and construct a comprehensive database of information, actively contribute to it, and share our resources with communities who we work with, as well as our online platform.
The boat is fully powered by renewable energy, supplied with unlimited fresh water (reverse osmosis desalination), internet (starlink), a 3d printer that can print from recycled materials, and soon, a hydropnic garden.
I'm also writing a book about how to live off-grid for cheap. I mainly focus on the following concepts:
- permaculture
- hydroponic system
- natural medicine
- renewable energy
- water managment
- recycling/ upcycling
- biogas
- natural products and much more...

I'll be happy to teach you to sail if you can help lift the anchor ! That is actully my job, when not working on other project I'm giving sailing lessons on board, teaching all there is to know about owning sailing and maintaining a sailboat.
I can also teach about freediving and spearfishing if interested.
I speak French as my native language, but I speak English and Spanish fluently. Some german...
This whole region is very interesting to explore. Portobelo especially has a very interesting culture and history, as well as San Blas, of course!

I'll show you how to use the dinghy, (the little boat we use to go from the boat to land).

I had an amazing time with Antoine and his friend Max.
I was on the remote island of Max at the same time as Carl and Laura. So we learned a lot about linving on an island, discovering the Kuna culture, sailing, making videos...
