| Easy going, funny and uncomplicated mate born in Australia, grown up in Switzerland, lived and worked all over the world as well as in Sydney recently where I enjoyed some beautiful sailing. Made my sailing license for inland waters 1.5 years ago in Switzerland (yes, we have windy lakes between the alps ;-)), passed my theory test for the open ocean license and am currently trying to get as much experience and open ocean miles as possible to skipper the open ocean myself as soon as possible. If not sailing, I'm canoeing through Alaska or surfing in Portugal as I'd call the ocean my second home. | |
