Of passionate, positive and determinate, Francine has a course off the beaten track.
At the age of 49, she reviews her life. Too much stress, work, as many, her has madman's rhythm in urban zones, As many, she dreams about one somewhere else of a sailboat in the Caribbean...but as few, she gives her the means to realize its dream. She listens to her intuition " finding herself she even but also surpassing herself "
She learn to go beyond her limits and beyond her fears with the same determination to say himself " I am able "
She begins by navigating 6 months a year, only, then wishes to make share the passion of the sail, of the sea and the Caribbean by making of the charter … From 2000 till 2005, it is one of the first women captain of sailboat alone. She discovers the Caribbean islands up and down, from east to west.
From an adventure to the other one, as many, Dream Francine to learn Spanish, but as little, she gives the means to go to study several months in Honduras and in Ecuador …
We are in 2005, a murderous year caused by Hurricanes, the adventuress wishes to investigate farther quiet waters …
While arriving at Bocas Del Toro to the Panama, Francine to cast anchor and in every sense of the word. The loving sailor of the journeys and the discovery finds its Paradise.
A soft mixture of exoticism, the heat of the local population, the wild aspect of these islands of Mangrove, the energy which loosens this region seduced him …
From an adventure to the other one, Francine dreams about an island, she is lucky to be at the right place at the right time, because she buys some in one affordable and quits prices definitively Quebec
But if we take out the sailor of its boat, we do not take out the sea of the sailor, to make a transition gently, it makes build its on piles house, with local materials and traditional architecture.
Even there, Francine wishes to make share this passion for the environment, the Indian Ngöbe community, but we do not make a charter flight with an house over water.
Never mind, provided with a rule and with a marked out in squares sheet, she draws Eco Lodge with 4 bungalow on her most beautiful island. Plunged in the heart of a Mangrove with a natural swimming pool, the drawing of Francine takes shape. While respecting the nature, its Lodge so becomes integrated that we would say that it went out of waters of itselfé Inspired by the Ngöbe knowledge, Urraca is a harbour of serenity, or we float between sky and sea.
Determinedly and its small boat, Francine makes hundreds of routes to bring of Bocas to Urraca, water tanks, plumbing, freezers, mattress …
Of explorer, Francine chose of being Robinson, who wishes to transmit a return to the source, the history of the natives, the local products …
For Francine, it is not enough to dream its life, it is necessary to realize its dreams
transmit what Ngöbes taught her, to be happy with not much a spiny lobster and a glass of rum
