Five female captains share their stories about rivers and seas. About storms, hurricanes, dreams, and happiness. Childhood and family. Five women who couldn't be more different. What connects them is a shared love for sailing, which draws them out onto the water despite all obstacles. Christiane Carstens sensitively and humorously narrates these life paths and her own story as a Hamburg sea child, taking readers along on swaying harbor barges, ferries, inland boats, and container ships. "Moin Seekind" opens up a panorama of nautical lifestyles and gives a voice to those who rarely have one: women in shipping, who not only assert themselves in a male-dominated field but also share their unique stories.
