Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Dear Shipmates. Interested in a trouble-free, friendly relationship? Pick me up! You won't regret.
I'm an engineer settled in Belgium but my former jobs span across several countries and across wide spectrum from university teaching, language teaching, the military, government, through IT, finance and audit.
I am a relatively inexperienced sailor with an ambition to own a boat and sail far away. The only experiences come from years ago when sailing was different. Now I'm trying to get back to sailing to learn whether it is a stupid childish dream or something that would really result in adrenaline boiling again.
You will find me easygoing and relaxed. But asking perhaps a lot of stupid questions. Recently I got enrolled in a series of refresher courses and hope to be a serious contributor to your project. For you to decide. Why not to drop me a line to ask anything specific?

A little about myself, my interests and my plans
