Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hello,
My name is Michel, I am 38 and born in the Netherlands. Currently living in Varna, Bulgaria. Next to the Black sea.
I have sailed since I'm 12 years old. Started with a optimist, then Varuna and Falk. Later I raced on a Waarschip.
Got my skipper papers last October(2022) in Greece. And logged 400 NM.
I have worked for the ast 15 years in the Event industry, but have decided to stop with my company in the beginning of 2023.
Now:
Looking to explore a life onboard a sailingboat and may eventualy buy one myself. I want to learn and get more experienced before I do so.
Maybe make sailing my fulltime proffesion.
A little about myself, my interests and my plans
