Jacob's Recipe For FRIKADELLER and Bearnaice Sauce
A Little About Myself:
My full name is Jacob Lindhardt Palm and I am born on June 9, 1974, in Denmark.
I grow up in Strib, where my parents taught my brothers and me sailing from very young age. Summers were spent sailing; either keel boat family holidays in Denmark or regattas. Since the teenage years it has also been parent-free keel boat holidays with friends, but I'm unfortunately getting too attached and too old for this...
In early 1995 I worked as a tourist guide at a South African safari, giving tours in Scandinavian, German, English and Afrikaans.
I served in The Danish Marine Corps (Marinekompagniet), a unit under the army, in 1995-96 (including the worst winter of the decade) where I got combat training and specialised as a light machine gun infantry soldier.
After the marine corps I coached first Pakistan and then South Korea in sailing, and later I delayed my studies to coach Singapore (See Best results in Sailing).
I'm a MSc. Forestry (Cand.Silv.) from Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University in Copenhagen. As I spent 2000-2002 coaching Singapore full time, I finished my education rather late. Definitely I had some good time in Singapore, so I have no regrets on being a bit 'academically slow'!
Little Dawn, Prissy, Debbie and Tingeling touch my heart as they try to make me cry as my contract with SingaporeSailing expires...

Tracy
My lady is Tracy Tan. She's a sister to a sailor I used to coach. Spotted her after a regatta in 2001, and started dating her after her bro had retired from optimist.
She always makes my heart go BOOM!
She's a master of Political Science from National University of Singapore. We are still half a world from each other, but I sense light at the end of the tunnel, as we plan to be together after we have been working for a year. Hopefully we can find a job in the same region. Does anyone know of good job opportunities for masters of political science and forestry? To comfort me while I miss her, I have my motto: "The Perfect Life Is Strewn With Obstacles".
August 28 2003, I proposed to her, and she gave me her YES! Lucky me!!!
I love you baby!
