I am a global Austrian Personality with an International Network of Friends coming from Global Companies that I worked for. My first intense Cruising started in 1980 by doing two Pacific Crossings, followed by many Cruises from Seattle into Alaska. Other than that, always cruising the Mediterran and Aegean Waters during the Years. I am known, for being a calm Person when it comes to critical Situations, able to keep a cool head. I am very social and open minded. Latest Cruises where from St Martin directly to Horta and on to Lisbon , Gibraltar - operated by 2 people only . Last year 21 I sailed from Greece via Italy, Spain, Madeira, Las Palmas, Cabo Verde to Grenada - currently we are in St Martin - in 2022 we cruised with a Crew of 4 via Bernuda to the Acores to Gibraltar - we are cruising in Kate December from Gibraltar via Madeira to the Canaries and return back to the Mediterranean in a wind conveiniant week to spend time In the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea etc and cruise in November from Gibraltar via the Canary’s and Cabo Verde to Grenada and stay until April 24
