H&R Trains - Polish Sailors Lifrlong Dream Coming true

Congratuations Are In Order
Polish Sailors Lifelong Dream
Has Come True !

Did you know that our Bookkeeper Beata's Husband Tomek has been sailing around the world ? Did you Know he did it "Single Handed". For those of you who are not up on sailing terms that means was "Sailing Alone", except for his First Mate "Wacek" which is a Jack Russel Dog

More incredible is that Tomek did this entire adventure Non-Stop, East to West - (Against the prevailing winds.)

He is Home at last !

You can go directly to Tomek's web site where you can see his daily progress from the beginning to the sucessful completion of his around the world adventure.

Tomek & First Mate Wacek

Tomek actually fulfilled his Lifelong Dream when he crossed over his original outbound course closing the circle from Ensenada Mexico. He was sailing North Northwest paralell to the Mexican coast in order to position himself to a point where he was able to make the turn to the East and go directly to Ensenada. This little detour was needed to compensate for the prevailing winds and current which exists along the west coast of Mexico at this time of the year.

This beautiful picture was sent to me by captain Tomek himself which is standing up near the bow (front of the boat) on the starbord (right) side. It was taken from an aircraft by his good friend "AirBreathDuck".
