Dear Shipmates
Introduction
I'm a German adventurer with a passion for exploring the world from the sea. For me, sailing is the feeling of beauty and peace, experiencing the freedom of nature and living the liberation of a minimalist, sustainable lifestyle in good company. A few years ago, I decided to get an ICC for the "real" ocean after many years of sailing on Lake Constance and the coast at my doorstep after living in Estonia and Finland. Summer 2020 and 1,300 miles on the Baltic Sea later (where our skipper acknowledged a thankless job with the quote "One day you'll be scrubbing your own deck"), I finally took the plunge and began the dream of being the proud owner of an Avance 245 cruiser in 2021. Since then we've been cruising the Baltic archipelago together.
A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I'm adaptable when it comes to plans; and I'm happy to change them if the situation requires it. I love active, sporting and endurance sailing; best in a calm, relaxed and stress-free manner (hats off to two memorable sailing instructors along the way). I'd like to think I'm good at teamwork, communication and teaching; skills that come in handy on board a yacht. As a member of the engineering guild by day, I have no qualms about working with technical gadgets, on-board electronics or mechanical systems such as the engine (although my favourite form of propulsion comes with a rigg 😁). I'm relaxed, respectful and curious, so I'm always ready to explore new countries and cultures, preferably through their cuisine. Whether in real life or in the confines of a galley, I'm a passionate cook who loves (the challenge of 😎) good coffee. Finally, I enjoy seeing the world through the lens of photography.
