Dear Rafal, I must first say how dear it is to see your pride for your daughter and your encouragement to her in the pursuit of her dreams. That speaks most loudly and wonderfully of your love and character as a father. The pictures are fine in detail, rich in quality, and excellent in quality. They also brought back memories to me of my days in sailing school as girl much the same age. Time flies.... :))) Thank you so much for sharing this album with me! Blessings, Barb :)
