We have met as students of Chinese Philology at Palacky University in Olomouc, Czech Republic. At that time, it has hardly ever occurred to us, that we would one day own a cruising yacht.

Nicely was our future planned: PhD scholarship at Taiwan, academic or some other career, a flat or even a house, a dog, a cat, kids, big kitchen, even bigger garden, appliances, a short vacation once a year…

More and more a feeling of uncertainty crept in. Is that really the life we would enjoy living: whole days indoors in offices, meetings, hypocrisy of modern society, and above all we would spend together only couple of hours a day…

We love people, but we also enjoy solitude. We are landlubbers, but the sea always attracted us. We moved to a seashore on the northern coast of Taiwan. We wanted to know, whether our passion for the sea is going to loose strength. However, The sea beguiled us forever.

Then it was but a small step from a small plywood dighy to our cruising sailboat Janna.

Why these pages?

We like to write, share, we like to tell stories. There might be a little bit of a need to show off, sure. But when we were starting, we were hungry for information and we were grateful wherever we stumbled upon a piece of honest confession how others were starting, where they messed up and what they would have done better. We promised ourselves to pay it back to those people, but since they have already made their first steps, we ended up with paying it forward.

Not everything is in English!

Sorry about that. We are trying to keep up. If you are particularly interested in some page or a post, let us know and we try to translate is as soon as possible.
