Author Biography:
Jim Krawiecki's involvement in the outdoors and in particular the Welsh coastline started on family holidays spent at the unique Polish ex-servicemen's home near Pwllheli. An introduction to canoes and kayaks at school led Jim to join a local canoe club in the mid 1990s, predominately a white-water club, as members suggested that sea kayaking was both dangerous and boring! Undeterred, and finding better-informed company through Northwest Sea Kayakers, a passion for the sea was rekindled and encouraged. In return Jim is now a prominent member of that group and regularly organizes meets and sea trips.
Sea kayaking in Scotland, Brittany, the Greek Isles, Norway, Iceland and Greenland as well as numerous excursions to Wales have prompted him to share his enthusiasm for sea touring.
Jim is also a passionate mountaineer, which in turn led to his current employment at the offices of the British Mountaineering Council.
Andy Biggs has always had a strong affinity with the sea. Fascinated by the journeying nature of sea kayaking, Andy has completed many memorable trips around the UK, including trips in Ireland, Scotland and extensively in Wales. He has circumnavigated the islands of Skye and Mull and recently paddled multi-day trips in Alaska and New Zealand.
Andy has been a free-lance photographer and has in the past enjoyed teaching students. Recently he has returned to his previous passion of sailing.
