I am looking for sailing adventures
Let me introduce myself: I am Unda. That's what everyone has been calling me for many years. Claudia is just listed in my profile as it is in my passport.
On board I like to be at the wheel, I like to look at the sea and be silent. But I also love philosophical conversations about life and our being. I'm pretty clear and direct. Although I'm somewhat of an introvert, I enjoy dancing and meeting new people. I love doing things that make me feel really alive - like sailing, swimming, diving, ice bathing,... I'm definitely not a city person but need nature to breathe. And I need VitaminSea :-)
I‘m looking for co-sailing options with experienced sailors. Even though I have quite a few miles in the book, there is still so much to learn!
And so many places want to be discovered...
So far I'm a fan of rather cool waters (Baltic Sea, Atlantic, Arctic, Antarctic) but open to new adventures and discoveries anywhere in the world.
I‘m usually relaxed and in a good mood and I also enjoy cooking.
Since I haven't retired yet, I work remotely with my laptop and have to be online for two to three hours twice a week. So it will be perfect, if you already have Starlink on board, otherwise I need a port with internet access every now and then.
My previous sailing experience:
After a few trips on the Baltic Sea, I have traveled a little further in the last two years:
June 2023 -northern Atlantic, English Channel and Northern Sea (from the Azores to Cuxhaven)
July - September 2023 -Sailing and exploring the North-West-Passage from Dutch Harbour (Unalaska) to Iluissat (Greeland) on a 100 year old wooden sailing hering drifter
February - March 2024 - Sailing-expedition in the Southern Ocean / Antarctic, started in Ushuaia (Argentina) and finished more than 3000nm later in Port Stanlay (Falklands). We not only travelled on the west side of the Antarctic Peninsula as far south as Adelaide Island, but also spent two weeks on the east side of the Peninsula – in the Weddell Sea, where we sailed exceptionally far south around James Ross Island and Snow Hill Island. Followed footsteps of Shackleton and reached Point Wild on Elephant Island.
In August 2024 - again northern Atlantic and English Channel (from the Azores to Calais), it has been a boat-transfer, just two people in the team, watch-handover every 3 hours.
I feel alive on and in the water, whether in a kayak, sailing, diving or long-distance swimming. On board the sailboat I love the small community, being on the move together, getting to know each other, relying on each other and being there for each other.
I like it when I know how someone likes their coffee or tea so that I can make them happy when they're standing watch on deck. I like to hear and share stories as we look at the sea together. I like to look into shining eyes when we see dolphins or whales. I like to cook and to be cooked for. Unfortunately, I don't play the guitar myself, but I like to sing along when someone on board plays it.
I love dreaming and making plans together. I like the sound of the water rushing over the side of the ship when I fall asleep and wake up. I like the sea glow of bioluminiscent creatures and I like endless starry skies. I like sunrises even more than sunsets - they are more auspicious.
