Description
Workway
Hei, I am actually renovating a lovely boat/catamaran (wooden platform built on two floats). 10m by 3.60m. I am working on it for a month already, the project is to make it clean, safe and make it ready for this summer to get a social place on the fjord where I can with my guests chill on the sofa, listen music, fishing from it etc.. This boat will provide life, fun and good energy. A lot of work had already been done by my friends and I but there is still a lot to do.
I am Jean-Côme, living in Bergen. I am 32 years old, originally from France. I am a carpenter designer.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am living on a sailboat in the center of Bergen. I would be happy to share sometimes trips on the fjord. :)
It could be a unique experience. I am French native, speaking English. Living here for 4.5 years, I will be happy to share all the city secrets I know.
Help
I am looking for help on my project.
Between 3 to 3.5 hours a day. Any help will be welcome. Mainly about sending or painting, cleaning this catamaran and make it good and ready for this summer. Help me with fixing when needed, some skills could be helpful, like about wood, painting, constructions, driving license would be useful too, making website, … but none of those are mandatory. I need someone with energy and smile, it’s important to share place and work in a good atmosphere.

I am providing lunch or dinner during according at the time we are working. (If late it will be more dinner provided).
What else ...
The harbor is actually in the center, many buses, tramway are passing by.
