Great traveller and sailor with many ocean miles, great love for sailing and living onboard.About 40.000 nm, crossing Atlantic, Pacific and Indian ocean, partly as crew and also as Captain of my 42ft sailing boat, Kalimera, a beautiful Alden, I purchased at Santa Barbar, CA, and sailed to Panama on January, with no engine. For 5 years I lived on board alone at San Blas, Panama, chartering. I learned a lot about maintenance and organisation on board. I can cook, clean as well as steer or night watch.
