‘I am very grateful to open the doors of my home and share it with you. I am very attached to my boat Primadonna. I like to share my love of sailing. I like to drawthe different wind patterns and sail trims on the blackboard for everyone to easily understand the details of sailing. I enjoy fishing and spearfishing even though I often come home empty-handed. But I remedy that with a good Pasta Carbonara. Followed by a good nap ;).’
