Anyone know anyone crossing the Atlantic soon? soon?

I just met an amazing hitch-hiker looking for a berth. She's crewed to here from France on a 6m x5m home built catamaran with no accommodation.

PM me if you know anyone.

Here's a pic of the boat she came here (Sines, Portugal) on from France.

That is an 'interesting' catamaran - is it a cat with outriggers (or 'amas'), or could it be a quadmaran re the four hulls?

I am not surprised that she is looking to jump ship now - sensible lass.

If she's still looking when we get there...

From the subject title I thought this was a call for a YBW trans atlantic rally to escape the totally unnacceptable 90/180 rule. Wrong again. However it would be interesting to know how many are planning the Great Escape I know of three Forumites so far from this forum. Note I said "Planning".

Thanks for that. I have been intrigued for some time where cruisers communicated with each other when on a specific project like a trans-Atlantic or a trans Pacific. But why facebook and not the established forums. In my past it was SSB but so frustrating with poor reception at times. Actually I have been watching a video today by a skipper who was complianing that sailors do not stop for a gam anymore. Maybe everyone is on facebook.
