Dear Shipmates

Introduction

We would like to do boat deliveries / transfers on European inland waterways.We have several years of experience on canals and rivers.
Please note: European Inland waterways only - NO SAILING for the time being.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

clean & tidycommitteddiligentdiscreeteasy-goingfit & healthyfriendlyorganisedrespectfultrustworthyrarely/unlikely seasickgood listenerno body piercingsno facial piercingsno tattoos at alltravel light (little luggage)eager to learn & workpoliteLGBTIQA+ respectfulpositive outlookopen mindedsense of humorcan pay own expensesdon't mind cleaninglive on little money

I'm a retired informatics engineer, my wife a retired psychiatrist. For a couple of years we spent several weeks a year navigating on a solar powered boat on french canals and rivers. Since 2014 years we own a sailing boat on the lake of Neuchâtel (Switzerland).
Hiking, cycling, swimming, cross county and alpine skiing are some of our activities
We try to live environment friendly. Using public transport (no flying!) if possible, for short distances bicycles.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

have a holidayvisit remote placesfulfill a dreamface challengesfinding myselfgain experiencetravel

We like traveling on canals and rivers. As we can't afford buying a boat this is a good opportunity to have at least a bit of boating.
AND: It is a way to meet new people and perhaps even make new friends.
