About me
I was raised and lived 19 years in a socialist country (East Germany), before I moved to West Germany, after the wall came down. In 2007 I did move to the States, first just to learn English, but later I decided to stay for good. I have worked 34 years in the automotive industry for the same company as a Quality Engineer and Quality Manager, and for 25 years my main experience is specialist in root cause analysis and problem solving, what may could come handy on a boat on an ocean. I have the plan to leave the corporate world soon, and to live on a boat, and to make sailing to my full-time vocation.
I love the ocean, nature, animals, people and music, and I was also a Hobby DJ for 25+ years, with a little event management company on the side for a couple years. This hobby helped to balance my corporate world job out. I am interested on many things, including history, human behavior and psychology, different cultures, and spirituality and the actual science and the quantum physics behind it (Nicola Tesla said once "If you want truly be able to understand the secrete of the universe, then you must think in Energy, Frequency and Vibration").
I am looking for an experienced captain/ sailor who is willing and open to share her/his knowledge and experience with me, and also to have some fun to enjoy life, and some great conversations and laughter.
I am very easy and outgoing, with low expectations, and am willing and eager to give a hand where it is needed. I am a good conversation partner, who has many funny anecdotes, and I am also a good listener, who always learns something new, just by listening. But I also enjoy just to feel and to go fully with the ocean and nature, without a permanent need to talk. I am able to easily read my environment and the room, and I can effortless adjust myself as it fits best for everybody.
