Hello! We are Jelena and Jakub, a couple living in Stockholm, Sweden.
Five years ago, we stayed on a small sailboat in Sardinia on Airbnb. That was like an enlightment for us, we needed to get into sailing!
We came back home, and a few months later, we bought the first secondhand sailboat we visited, without knowing how to sail!
It was a Granada 24, from 1978.

Since then, we've been sailing pretty much every weekend! In all kinds of weather! For us, every sail was an opportunity to learn how to handle her in new conditions.
Every weekend, we'd look at the forecast, choose one of the 30 000 islands in the Stockholm archipelago (best if there's a sauna!), leave work early on Friday, sail there, even at night, and come back home late at night on Sunday.

As our passion for sailing and our hunger to reach new horizons grew, a plan to sail further and for longer started to take shape.
And here we are! Preparing for our sailing adventure around the world, starting June 2020!
