Salz auf der Haut
My German book on travelling the world by sailboat, with Delius Klasing.
Salz auf der Haut, salt on the skin, is my German book with Delius Klasing. It grew out of Ocean Nomad, but it is broader: how to travel the world by sailboat as crew, wherever you want to sail, not only across the Atlantic. Tips, stories and photos from years at sea as crew, skipper and trip organiser.
Written in German. Published by Delius Klasing. Hardcover and e-book.
What's inside, and who it's for
For anyone curious to explore the seas by sailboat and learn by doing, wherever in the world you want to go. Inside:
- How to travel by sailboat as crew, anywhere in the world, not only across the Atlantic.
- Finding a boat, the seasons and routes, what things cost, and what to expect on board.
- Everything I have learned since Ocean Nomad, from more miles as crew, skipper and trip organiser.
- Stories and photos from the water.
- How to sail more lightly and travel with respect for the ocean.
Hi, I'm Suzanne
I hitched my first ride across the Atlantic as a complete newbie to the world of sailing. Since then I have sailed more than 50,000 nautical miles across almost every ocean, as crew, skipper and trip organiser. Salz auf der Haut is everything I have learned about getting on boats and travelling the world by sail, written for German readers.

The book is where it starts
Reading it is step one. When you are ready to actually go, the Ocean Nomads community is where you find your people: crew, captains, boats and the miles that turn the idea into a life. We also run our own Atlantic crossings on SV Twister, a 36-metre traditional schooner, beginners welcome on most legs. See the current expedition legs.
Stay wild, Suzanne
