Dear Shipmates

Introduction

After three years of preparation, I left for a trip around the world with my sailboat. After working as an Emergency Nurse for many years, I resigned at the end of April 2022 and left for my trip around the world in mid-July 2022. I am currently in Aruba. After the hurricane season I wil continue to head north , Dominican Republic and Caribbean Islands and return via the Azores back to Europe Mediterranean. I am looking for a crew member(s) who share my passion for sailing and discovering the world, new countries and cultures, wandering the seas/oceans. I am looking for someone who will join me for a longer period, someone who can put things into perspective, has humor, is enthusiastic, sociable and enjoys life.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleancomfortablevery safevessel is survey certifiedshare experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamface challengesmulticultural

My boat is a Koopmans 35 steel, which I purchased in 2019 and after which a complete refit took place. Ready for a trip around the world. It is a stable sailor with the comforts of a 35 ft boat. I myself have extensive sailing experience, having sailed on the Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, sailed many times solo for instance to Norway, and sailed on the North Sea many times.
