Dear Shipmates

Introduction

After having sailed from Panama via French Polynesia, Indonesia, South Africa to Joao Pessoa Brazil I plan to sail from there to Trinidad Tobago from January 21 until end of February. I will sail via Fernando de Noronha and Surinam.
You must not only be able to sail but be reliable and trustworthy.
We don´t race, but the boat is a fast Simpson Catamaran, completly overhauled and renovated recently in South Africa and if you like to fish, we have equipment aboard.
The boat is fully equipped with Iridium Exec Satellite communication and 2 back ups.
We like to enjoy, are easy going, love life, don´t drink alcohol during sailing and will always spend some day when we anchor at different places.
I have been sailing since the age of 12 taking various courses in Bavarian mountain lakes, which makes you sensible for sudden gales and windfalls. Later I joined a course in the baltic sea on a larger sailing ship for ocean sailing. From the turn of this century for about 12 years I did extensive catamaran sailing on the pacific side of Panama near Punta Chame, where also ideal conditions for kite surfing exist with winds between 25 and 35 knots. In 2013 I bought a 45´ Simpson catamaran, handmade in Germany from wood and raisin and first put into the water in 1997. I modernized everything, from watermaker, radar, raymarine, forward sonar, etc, and it got a new selden rig. I did extensive sailing of the bay of Panama from Darien to the island of Coiba. Some years ago we went to Galapagos via Isla Cocos and back. So my experience of sailing is very practical and I am trying to improve theory as a process of continuous learning. I have quite some experience with sailing with my children and their friends and in manageing small crews.
Any questions? Feel free to ask!
