hello every one on board or on land!

I started sailing when i was about 4 days old with my parents and when i was about 6 my uncle and dad build me small one boy boat similar to an optimist but this one had a bow then when i was a bit older my first OK jolle which is a one mans boat and might have been a class in the olympics 50 years ago. When i was 20 i joined the dutch navy and loved it at 21 i started sailing the oceans from hook of holland to england and hitch hiking from there which brought me to the canaries , caribean and USA did a few deliveries as a captain from west coast to caribean then another back home to europe and flew to australia where i bought a small boat myself and had a great time for a few years before i went to perth where the americas cup started got a job driving the tender for the english team and became a first officer on board a poweryacht the Welsh Falcon which Fosters had commisioned from Europe . We lost the cup and me and the girlfriend {later wife}went to San Diego for another Cup Where i was driving the tender for the spanish team . WEll i could go on for a bit longer , but right now im 59 and am single and itching to go cruising again the Kids are with Mum for a bit longer . And Im ready , who wants to come along for the trip of a life time . MAZZA
