Looking for a well brought up women, kind and warmhearted to learn the ropes together... She must definitely love the ocean and everything above, below and around it. Nerdy and DIYers get extra points :)
Me a bit shy, in IT since very long time, enjoy learning new things every day, 2 daughters, almost 17 and 19 respectively, still living at home for now, but planning to escape and starting their adventures... I need my self time, I am into Sci-Fi and Fantasy books, movies, etc. Almost all music, except that sub-cultural filled with trivial language. More on rock / metal, but definitely classical, pop, latino, etc. Don't know how to dance. If you can teach me that would be fantastic. I have no dietary restrictions, but lately am trying to eat low carbs meals to manage my wait (lost about 13 kg which is a good deal for me, and getting close to my target every day). Strictly non-smoking, very seldom drinking these days for same reason of managing weight and health overall, not that I drink much before (maybe now and then a very good wine or brandy/rum or a home made cocktail ;) ). Also avoid sugars of all kind even if I like so much cookies and cakes and... Not very good at it, but enjoy baking and cooking and a DIY-er to the bones. Building, renovating, anything really. I'm looking to get some experience with epoxy / fiberglass which might prove handy while sailing...
Don't like high adrenaline activities like base jumping or similar, but really into adventure of all types, traveling and exploring, by foot, car, bicycle, paraglider, or any other way and of course by boat both sailing and with the dinghy once reaching a destination. Now that I mentioned epoxy and dinghy, I do plan either later this year or the next one to build a nestable 3-parts dinghy on the larger side because I'm sick of the inflatable ones that come with chartered boats with skin bottom that do not track (I can easily go sideways with them without any effort), and their top speed is of a drunk slug :).
So far I sailed at my RYA Day skipper course, and a couple of summers afterwards on chartered boats.
Even thou initially I thought I could continue sailing earlier it seems I'll be unable to do it before end of 2022, as I have some unfinished things to take care before.
Until then I wish you all fair winds.
The dream is in the near future (most likely 2 to 3 years from now) to buy a boat to take us around the world. Starting slow, and learning as much as possible, probably in the Med and deal with Meltemi which I learned the hard way is quite challenging at times, Greece, Turkey, Croatia & Montenegro, Italy, North Africa, towards France, Spain, Gibraltar, probably Azores, and then across the Pond :). No hurry, I can work from everywhere I have InterNet, and do hope you can as well. I plan at least in the first part of the adventure to have some time off the boat in the winters, return home, and also go to ski for 1-2 weeks.
