Francisco was born in a sailing family, having therefore his first sailing experience as a baby. This experience of course got engraved in his mind for the rest of his life. Since this family boat was sold when Francisco was around 12 years old, he didn't sail again until he got back on a boat as a result of starting to dive in Brazil after highschool. Staying in Brazil until achieving his PADI Instructor diploma, he remembered that boats were his real passion, and decided to start his formation, completing his first sailing course in 2013. After this course, and some experience, he started teaching other people the art of sailing in the challenging Rio de La Plata, and taking boats across the river from Buenos Aires to Uruguay; starting in 2018 the project of building an ocean sailboat, in order to go out to high seas. After 3 years of hard work, he took this sailboat from Argentina to Morocco and back, in a voyage of more than 20,000Nm and two Atlantic crossings. Pursuing a career as professional captain during this voyage, he completed various courses and started working in the Industry.

As the sailboat construction started, Francisco met Julieta, and found true love and companionship. When the boat was ready to go out to sea in 2021, Julieta was confident to join and stayed the whole voyage aboard; learning about sailing, and taking her culinary knowledge and experience to boats. Looking to learn local food everywhere she travels.
