Sailing Experience.
• Between 1996 and 1997, I sailed with my landlord, who had built a 12-meter ketch sailboat. Our journey covered Southern Europe, West Africa, South America, navigating the Amazon rainforest, Suriname, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. Due to engine trouble caused by contaminated diesel fuel obtained in Venezuela, we were unable to dock in Bermuda. We continued sailing across the North Atlantic Ocean, reaching the Azores, and finally returned home via IJmuiden.
