Hi everyone!
I just got an invitation for sailing trip to Poland, Mazury lakes. More info can be read from http://www.academianavigatio.org/angielski/ and the email below.
Most importat information is dates 10.05.2007 - 20.05.2007 and price 335e.
The trip is organized by my friend Peter Glowacki, and the participants will be students all over the world. I was on the trip 2005 and had really good time there! Especially few days down to Krakow are very good and for sure you'll get new friends! Unfortunately the timing overlaps with TKK exam period ;-/
No sailing skills are required as there are skippers in the yachts and weather conditions on the lake district are pretty friendly. Exellent opportunity to start sailing! I'll be happy to answer if you have any questions about the trip.
~Timo, TRIP international coordinator ;-P
