In July 1998 I became a skipper for the first time. The boat was called "Bieszczady" - wooden ketch. I had a very young crew. The oldest was 30 years old, the youngest was my brother - only 16. We were sailing over 2 weeks. During this short voyage we visited some danish, swedish and german ports. I remember it took us a while to stay in Copenhagen. This race I remember as spent in a nice atmosphere without any technical problems. I didn't have any accidents or dangerous situations.
