| Nationality: | Germany |
| Currently based in: | Berlin, Germany |
| Looking for: | Western Europe & North Atlantic Islands; |
| Experience: | 700 ocean miles / 7300 coastal miles |
| I am a very experienced hobby sailor who plans to cross the Atlantic in Nov/Dec 2022. Based in Berlin I am working as a consultant. My plan was to join a boat owner on the way from Las Palmas to the Caribbean See in Nov/Dec 2022, than stay there and work as a skipper over about 5 months and finally bring his boat back to Mallorca with my own crew of friends starting in May 2023. Last week the boat owner had to inform me that he - due to private reasons - had to cancel the Atlantic crossing. Therefore I am looking for another option to first cross the Atlantic towards the Caribbean and ideally get the boat back in late spring 2023. If required I am also happy to take care on the boat during these 5 months. | |
