Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Dear Shipmates,
My name is Alex and I am a motivated and encouraging young Guy from Germany. I am a business psychologist and police officer.
I love Water since I am a small child. So I am trying to be at the water as often as possible and I am trying to share this fascination with others - for example on sailing camps for kids on German lakes.
I had been one week sailing in New Zealand, two times for two weeks on a big sailing boat in the Netherlands, four times on a houseboat and am swimming nearly every day. My father had a small motorboat and so I made the boat license "Binnen und See" in Germany. In 2018 I am planning to make the Sportküstenschifferschein - something like a yachtmaster offshore.
Because I am living close to the german and austrian mountains, I am a Instructor for many outdoor sports like climbing, rafting or canoe.
Either I am in the water or in the Land: I never loose my way or an aim.
If I am not travelling around the world or working, I am engaged in the children ministry (kids in the age between 4 and 14 years) in my hometown in Germany or on sailing camps.
I love to work but I also love to relax. I have a positve and can-do attitude and could be a good listener but also a good entertainer - just what you are needing at the moment :)
And some people say, I am a really good cook.
I can also play guitar :)
Hope to hearing from you soon and meet you at a boat trip :)
