Today marks the beginning of an adventure I’ve been wanting to tackle for ages – I’ve officially registered today to start my journey to finally get the remaining SBF License for Boats: The SBF Binnen-S license!

This isn’t just a test or another certificate. This is freedom. With this license in hand, I’ll be able to steer my own boat (both under Sail and with Engine) across any water. I currently “only” posess the license to conquer the open sea with a motor but not the rivers in germany – silly I know – gotta love bureaucracy…
Setting my own course – no limits, no boundaries. Just the wind, the waves, and a lot of fun with friends and family (and I will also survive EVERY Zombie apocalypse – which is a nice bonus) 😉

The course will come with a lot of rules to learn (because Germans love rules), knots to master and a LOT of bureaucracy – but to me, it’s the next step into something much bigger. The boat was already acquired last year (it started as an eBay joke and ended with me being the proud owner of my very own boat).

So here’s to new beginnings, salty air, and learning the ropes (literally).
The journey has just begun, and I can’t wait to see where the water takes me!
