Job on Atalanta II
Just 2 days before I was going to start working on "Il Moro di Venezia" her owner turned me down because of a crew change on another yacht. Not very gentleman..
So there was a job opportunity on that yacht, "Capricorno", which broke the record during the last ARC, but that would have been taking me away from my objectives, living and racing in Italy. I would have to leave my girlfriend as the boat has a 4 year around the world cruising program.
After some stressful days I had the chance to sail with Elio Petracchi and talk with him about job. Yesterday I had an interview with him an suggested a trial period of one month, starting from.. today.
After the trial period I want to be contracted as first mate on the yacht.
Key features of the design:
Very happy :)
