Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Something about me:

In 2010 I found out that sailing is the right thing for me. Since then I have tried every year to find a way to be on a sailing boat as often as I can.
I have some experience with sailing and I can say that I am a good skipper. I know how to read maps, how to navigate during the night. I think that I have experienced a lot during the last few years of sailing and that I can deal with almost any situation that may occur on a boat.
I am respectful, clean and tidy, friendly, a good listener. I am a very good cook. I've professionally practiced swimming for three years. I know how to use a first aid kit. My mother taught me how to clean up after myself and how to manage to have things in order. I know how to build a house. I know how to repair almost any broken thing.
I have obtained the certificates for:
Open Water Diver
STCW V/2 Passenger safety, cargo safety and hull integrity
STCW V/2 Crisis management and human behavior
STCW V/2 Passenger safety
STCW V/2 Crowd management
STCW VI/1 (Personal survival techniques, Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting, First Aid, Safety and Social Responsibility)
STCW VI/6 Designated Security Duties

2017 March
Sailing from Cape Verde (Mindelo) to Guadeloupe
Duration - 16 days
Boat: 42 feat
Crossing the Atlantic Ocean with a French family husband and wife and their two daughters, aged 6 and 10 years). I
helped them with sailing (the mother was not able to sail during the night, the captain needed someone to help with
the sailing). What did I learn from this? How to predict weather during the night from the clouds, wind and waves, how
to be on a small space for such a long time, how to prepare the boat for such a long trip, how to deal with the
problems in the middle of nowhere (we had water in the boat twice (salt and fresh)).

2016 August
Sailing from Kiel to the UK wit a man from England who bought really nice wooden sailing boat in Sweden
Duration - two weeaks
Destinations - Kiel - Kiel canal - Cuxhaven - Amseland - Lauwersoog - through the canals to Lemmer - Amsterdam -
IJmuiden - River Crouch
Boat: 100 years old wooden sailing boat (12m long)
This trip was really special as it was my first time sailing with a wooden boat. It was full of surprises. The North sea
was wild and sailing the canals a wonderful experience. The North sea was certainly not the nicest place to sail. You
have to deal with currents, a lot of traffic in TSS line and the weather can be really unpredictable. When we tried to
reach Den Helder (we started in Borkum) we fell into really stormy weather. They said it was 7 (Beaufort) and some
were gale. The wind was so strong and the waves so big that we had to turn around and proceed to Amsterdam
through the canals instead (the sailing speed with third reef was 10 knots). Going through the canals was relaxing
and fun. It’s true that you can sail only during the day, but at least you can sail every day :-). Crossing the North sea
between the UK and the Netherlands was calm and with moderate waves. The only thing we needed to watch out for
was the big ships.

2015 August
sailing the Mediterranean sea with a guy from Sweden whom I found on findacrew.net
duration - two weeks
destinations (Marseille, Menorca, Mallorca, Eivissa, Alicante)
Boat: some old Swedish beauty (8m long)
This was the trip where I learned a lot. First we needed to prepare the boat for such a long trip. We needed to fix
electricity because when they'd changed the mast the electricity cable was not connected properly. We sailed for
almost 4 days during day and night. At the beginning we did not have a good wind but after 5 days the wind
increased so much that the rope on which we connected the anchor broke and we needed to dive it next day when
the wind calmed a bit. We needed to repair the water pump because it broke. When we sailed from the islands to the continent we fell into a really heavy storm. The waves were around 5 meters high and the wind was so strong that we
sailed 10 knots on just a really small jib. We teared one of our mainsail and we stitched by hand.
