Hi!
We are Herve and Sophie and we are a small-to-medium sized couple who originate from France, but have spent the last few years living in Australia where our two children, Charly and Amelia were born.
We have always wanted to live a life less ordinary and more importantly, a life of freedom and adventure. From this, our dream to live on a boat and home school our children while sailing around the world was borne.
We have been planning and saving for a life upon the seas for several years and are blissfully happy to be finally making our dream a reality!
Here’s a little bit about us:
Herve
This is Herve; the official captain of the boat.
Herve has travelled extensively with his work as a specialised diesel mechanic and although he loves a good adventure on dry land, his preference is to spend as much time as he can in, on or around the ocean. In fact, Herve loves the ocean so much that he might be part fish. Herve is a master diver and loves any sort of extreme adventure sport, but takes no risks when it comes to mashed potato – there must no trace of potato skin in the mash! Don’t even think about serving it up to him with the skin left in because he will turn into a different person.
Sophie
Meet Sophie; the first mate.
Sophie is the tireless worker behind the scenes. On top of making sure everyone is clothed, fed and washed, she gets in and assists Herve with all of the back breaking grunt work to get the boat afloat and keep it sailing smoothly. Sophie is a fabulous cook and her version of the famous Paris Brest dessert rivals that of any professional patissier. She is looking forward to discovering and cooking with the wonderful fresh market produce they will encounter on their travels.
Charly & Amelia
And now to meet the real captains!
Charly is a kind hearted little adventurer who loves the ocean as much as his Dad. He loves fishing, swimming and helping out his parents with any task big or small. Of all the things he loves to do, being a protective big brother to Amelia is his favourite job by far.
Amelia is source of boundless energy with a hint of delightfully devilish curiosity about her. She is as sharp as a tack and at a young age, knows exactly what she wants to do and isn’t afraid to tell you either. Whilst she can be the girliest of girls, she loves hanging out with her older brother while they seek out an adventure together. As much as Amelia loves to be Charly’s leading hand, she’d much prefer to sit down and eat snacks, leaving Charly to do the heavy lifting.
Kapa Rico
The final member of our team is the beloved boat herself, Kapa Rico.
She is technically a CATANA 417 catamaran but she’s more than that to us – she’s home. We’ve waited a long time to meet her and she is so much more than we dreamed she would be.
We hope you’ll tag along with us too and become part of our adventures along the way!
