Introduction	Arek Pawelek, PADI Diving Instructor. I used to organize off-road events and rallies. I'm Polish representative of Budapest-Bamako rally. I'm known in sailing world too. I became world-famous, when in 1998 on less then 4,5 m-long inflatable boat sailed across Atlantic. Later I was a crew on many other yachts and participated in such famous races as Sydney to Hobart and Gotlant Runt. I participated in many expeditions to Africa, Asia, South and North America. Lately I come-back on the oceans in great style: single-handed sailed around Cape Horn on an open RIB. For all achievements I was awarded with many awards. My book „Cena Strachu” - „Price of Fear”, about Atlantic expedition was awarded The Best Sailing Book Of The Year. I was a treasure hunter. I had taken part in realization of many TV and radio productions. Recently (few years ago)I changed my profession and became the farrier or blacksmith, as others name that job. For me it is now even more than just the "job" - it is more like lifestyle too ;-)
