Hi I was in San Francisco near Pier 39 and I saw Jussi with his three kids getting on the boat. I could hear the Scandinavian accent and wondered what you could be up to. I then googled Nanea Yacht and found this blog. I think what you are doing is fanatstic and I wish you and the family the very best for that voyage, the Swan 44 is a beautiful boat. Fintan

Terveisia Oonalle!
We were very excited to find your message in a bottle to your grandma at the Bodega Bay Marine Lab this week. I emailed it to Kati in Finland to get some translation help and she found you. Everyone at the marine lab is very curious about where you dropped the bottle. Did you sail by Bodega Bay?
I hope you’re having a great trip!
Rebecca (Canadian exchange student to Leppavirta many years ago, now in California, as Kati said. I don’t get to see Suomen kielta very often so it was very exciting to see your note!)

Hola!
Onneksi kaikki loppui hyvin eikä kukaan loukkaantunut sen pahemmin. Olemme nelihenkinen perhe (lapset 3 ja 6 vuotiaat) joka lähtee elokuun loppupuolella samankaltaiselle matkalle (alkaen ARC-Karibia ja sen jälkeen suuntaamme Australiaan). Toivottavasti matkanne jatkuu hyvin ja olisi mukava vaihdella ajatuksia ja kokemuksia matkoistamme.
Terveisin Mira Finckenberg ja Niklas Jansson (Max ja Felix)

Tervehdys perheelle Riihimäeltä ja tsemppiä matkalle. Teillähän on riittänyt jännitystä jo nyt aika lailla, heikompaa ihan hirvittää.
Muistahan Jussi toimittaa itsesi Tammelaan kesällä 2010.

Tervehdys Jussi ja koko perhe sinne maailman laidalle.
Onnea ja menestystä reissulle. Toivottavasti jatkuu helpommin, kun olette kokeneet jo vähän vastatuulta.

Hello
I am a yachting journalist from Croatia. I am currently preparing a story on classic swan yachts.
I am very pleased that I found your website, as I was looking for stories of classic S&S designs that are still sailing.
I would be very grateful if you could send me some photos of you boat exterior and interior, for editorial purposes.
I will send you the article when it is published
Thank you in advance

I was the dock master of Channel Islands Marina in Ventura before you arrived there. I am so sorry I missed meeting you but love your website and enjoy watching your adventure. What a wonderful life you are showing your children.

Hi,
would you like to be linked to my new website about Swan 44s? I envy your trip. Very nice and interesting website of yours. When our kids were little we cruised the Azores for four months with our Contessa 32. We are just starting to get “itchy feet” again and your site is everything but a cure against this disease…
Best wishes and good luck

Turvallista matkaa Jussi & perhe! Erittäin mielenkiintoinen hanke, meillä on moiseen projektiin liian pieni purjevene tällä hetkellä (FE 74).
Suomessa on ollut uskomattoman lämmin, jopa kuuma kesä. Onneksi pääsi takas töihin ja ilmastoituun toimistoon.
