Sailor for hire

Hi! I'm a Polish sailor. I started my adventure on small lake sailboats, then sailed two sea cruises on a 44-foot steel ketch, and later spent a few weeks sailing on a 34-meter, built in 1929 brig-rigged tall ship. Currently, I work as a sailing instructor on lakes, and for fun, I sail my own '47 Nordic Folkboat which I've bought and sailed from Stockholm, Sweden to Świnoujście, Poland, mainly relying on terrestial navigation, which is my burning passion. Nevertheless, I'm always on the lookout for opportunities to sail with others.

Aside from sailing, I have various other skills and passions, including mechanics, IT, and photography. I'll share more about myself in the profile sections, and I'm happy to answer any questions.

As for cooking, I cook when necessary, but it's not my strong suit. I'm also a vegetarian—appealing to some, less so to others (I don't prepare meat-based dishes).
