Good friends, knowing each others for 10 years now, we met during our engineering studies. On Christmas 2014, we got really excited by the same crazy idea : to go off a round the world sailing trip, though we hadn't yet the skills to sail on the open sea. We decided to take the bull by the horns and managed to reach the required level to be able to go off.
