| Looking for: | Caribbean; |
| Experience: | 0 ocean miles / 0 coastal miles |
| My goal for this year is atlantic crossing, starting in Europe to Caribbean. It's last time when I can do it. My grandfather, who tought me sailing, has a cancer and I want to do it for him. I started sailing as I was 5 years old child. I have Inshore Skipper Certyficate. Unfortunately I have never sailed at sea. With no exeperience at sea but with knowledge about basics in sailing I can help on the yacht without any problems. Additionally I'm stress resistant, (took part in sailing race and I loved this!!), easy-going and energetic person. I'm learning quickly and always engaged in my tasks. Currently I work as a personal trainer, fitness instructor and ski instructor. It means I have some kind of woo which helps to break the first ice. I speak English and a little bit German. I don't smoke. I can shut up if you need this! :) | |
