Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hey mates. My Name is Marc and I am 28 years young, full of energy and hungry for some new experience and some new stories. I am traveling now around the world and It was more then four years ago when I left my home country Switzerland and my job as an Electrician. In this travel I crossed with a Sailingboat from the Maldives to Sri Lank, from Sri Lanka to Thailand and finaly to Malaysia. After that I joined the same boat again and went from the Anambas to Borneo, Brunei, Borneo again where my Captains hips came out, so he decided to go home again and I had to bring the boat back to Langkawi with a other crew member. So we went to Sulawesi, Komodo Islands, Lombok, Gilis, Bali, Kalimunjava, Belitung, Bintam and all the way up to Langkawi where it got on the dry.(4565nm trip)
After that was sailing from Japan to Alaska on the list and just recently the Atlantic crossing in 2018.
When I was younger I cruised around the Caribbean from Martinique to Grenada. Had some sailing done at the local lakes and many more.
But now it is time again to be on a boat and that I can feel the waves and be with some interesting people and have a good time together. I have some experience on deck. The longest I stayed on only one boat was 10 months. At that time I learned the most about living on a boat. I was doing there all kind of work but mostly I had to fead three hungry guys and sail, navigation and driving the boat trough places, anchorages and marinas.
