Dear Shipmates

Introduction

What a good web site ...!!

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

confident swimmerrarely/unlikely seasickgood listenergood communicatorno body piercingsno facial piercingsno tattoos at alltravel light (little luggage)respectfulclean & tidycommittedfriendlypoliteperfectionistpositive outlookskilledorganiseddiscreettrustworthyopen mindedenthusiasticeasy-goingsense of humorcan pay own expensesavailable on my ownenjoy cookingdon't mind cleaninggood with maintenancecan follow ordersenjoy teachinginterpretinglive on little money

... never counted my "miles" ... or seas ... or countries ... or people ...
but boats and the sea have been in my life since a long time and are very important to me. Through circumstances I am no owner anymore.
From Dec 2008-April 2009 I had a crew position on Mexico's west coast, after that a position in the Caribbean on a 46' catamaran, which ended mid December 2012. We did a lot of charter.
Then I worked as a canvas maker in a sail loft in Carriacou/Caribbean. there I lived on a 45' motor vessel of a friend of mine for 3 years, including all the necessary maintenance. I used the boat from time to time single handed or crewed other boats.

I am a former Sports- and English teacher, have done charter in the Caribbean, before 2008: crossed the Atlantic, have restored my own wooden boats (40' and 46') single-handed from keel to mast top. I am a passionate of nature, animals, film/photography(underwater as well)/writing, a western riding instructor, a certified massage therapist, a good and imaginary cook. I'm healthy again (had parotid carcinoma in 2014/15), have now a paralyzed right face and no right ear anymore, all of which is a bit hindering, but only a tiny bit. This whole experience of having had cancer made me even more aware of how important it is to LIVE life and not only observe life.
I am Padi certified, but have no idea how diving would be now with my 'new handicap' - would love to give it a shot.
All together I am a down to earth - head in the moon person who loves to laugh ....

I'm now living in Southern France...

Life is too beautiful to be wasted and living on a boat is (for me) one of the last freedom spaces....
