Hi there.. Speaking for myself,I have a lifetime at sea as a captain in the Norwegian merchant fleet as well as 7 years or so as owner/charter skipper in South Norway on my beloved m.y Eight Bells,a 60' motor yacht I brought home from Germany. I grew up by the sea in Norway and spent my childhood in and out of the sea. I have been running charter operations in Brazil and I am also a maritime consultant here. I am regularly in contact with visiting round the world sailors offering charting assistance and shore services. Since you did contact me,I am giving you my background but for obvious reasons I would never mention this in our forum. Thanks for your interest,

Best regards
