I’m Julia, first mate for this season onboard of the Waka. I’m here to support the captain and to make you feel the passion of the sea life 🙂
What I prefer onboard : the connexion whith the others. The others can be the people onboard, but not only :the animals, the elements (the rocking of the boat, the wind, the sound of shell crisping). The other thing I enjoy is the rythm of life on a boat : we, as sailors, have to follow the weather conditions, we can’t control our own schedule.
I’m 24 years old and I’m french. I have travelled around the world with many boats and many people. That’s a beautiful way to discover other opinions and work methods. That ‘s why I’ve fallen in love with the zen attitude of English sailors : in stormy conditions, with cup of tea in hand, an elegant « let’s reduce the sail please ».
I will be very happy to share the different relations we can have to the seas, discover one of them together, and wake up your sea part.
Also, I don’t speak German but that’s the point of this summer : Deutsch zu verstehen !
Sea you soon,
Julia
