Program Details

All days, due to the weather, we start to work at 10.00 about to 16.00. We have a workshop where prepare frames to put on board. The Life Is an association Life so the program It depends on It. Flexibility is the key word!!
If the boat is on dry dock we'll stay in an house and we'll go to work to the boat with the car all the days. It Will be an hard work, i have to Say to you, and the working day Will start around 9.30 (you have to Imagine to have 40min of road trip before than) and finish around 18.00 (plus this 40 mins). I have to Say because for people that doesn't use to work with hands Is really hard... Nothing difficult, but heavy. We'll be a good team of work with other volunteers and worldpackers. Our intention is even work in a good state of mind, with smile and cooperation, so as to feel less the hard work! Usually we manage!
