There's a lovely photo of his mother who spent time in a Nazi Concentration Camp in WWII. There are lots of photos of Wojtek when he was a young man, even from before I was born! And some of his friend Ludomir whose story I am familiar with, having helped a little with a previous book about their voyages together. Wojtek very kindly included my poem Ludek's Dawn which was published in Bewildering Stories which I wrote for a photograph he took
Wojchiech is a Master Yachtsman and Tall Ships' First Officer. His long association and service for the Yacht Club earned him the award of Ambassador of SZECZECIN a few years ago. Amongst the sailing fraternity he is a legend.

It is strange how a chance encounter at a bus station can lead to a friendship that endures for (so far) 22 years I am just so thrilled and humbled to have a place in this incredible man's wonderful life journey!
Thank you so much Wojtek, for the book and for your enduring friendship.
