Milestones
Yacht Helmsman licence (Sternik Jachtowy) earned, first sea voyage completed as crew, and regular inland trips skippered myself.
More inland routes as skipper, including the Masurian Lakes, alongside the sea miles that count towards the next certification.
Planning and skippering a family charter across the Croatian Adriatic.
Enough sea miles and offshore navigation to earn the Yacht Captain licence and independently skipper a Baltic expedition.
Sailing is the ultimate blend of fluid mechanics, weather routing, risk management and crew coordination — all under real-world conditions, all at the same time.
