| I have been sailing on Swiss lakes since my childhood. Since 12 years also on the sea. I own the Swiss Certificate for Offshore Sailing (equivalent to the Coastal Skipper). I sailed in England-Channel Island, Sweden-Norway, Mediterranean Sea (Balearic Islands, Sardinia-Corsica, Tunisia, Croatia) and in Australia. I have 4 weeks experience as a skipper with family and friends. Overall, I sailed 2000 nm at sea and spent many, many weekend and days on lakes. I would like to sail the Atlantic Ocean or other long distances. Apart from sailing, I also cook and have medical knowledge. I am a physiotherapist and osteopath. I'm curious where the waves and the wind will bring me to. | |
