A Drop in the Ocean

A Drop in the Ocean is an honest account of a first ocean crossing on a small sailboat. When I hoisted the sails and pointed the bow into the unknown, I began the most fascinating adventure of my life. But then I realized that I was also beginning another journey. As the initial fear of the unknown slowly began to give way to the daily rhythm of life at sea, an inner process began that marked me deeply. This book is my attempt to describe the nature and effect of this subtle transformation.

A Drop in the Ocean is available on Amazon in three versions: paperback, ebook and audiobook. This book has 500+ positive reviews with an average rating of 4.5 stars. 

All the Colours of Polynesia

Fifteen tropical islands, fifteen chapters filled with adventure. This book lets you hop aboard Calypso and join us on our three-year-long voyage across French Polynesia, where you will discover some of the most interesting places, people and wildlife of the South Pacific.

From the world-famous island of Bora Bora to the remotest atolls of the Tuamotus, experience the challenges and rewards of the seafaring life as you dive with dolphins and sharks, sail under the stars, drink from fresh coconuts in the company of heavily-tattooed men, brave heavy storms and violent currents, play with stingrays, drift down coral rivers and meet fellow sailors from across the world.

Readers have said:

A beautifully written , pull-you-in and transport you to a part of the sailing journey many of us won’t ever be able to make.

There is a perfect balance of description of the locale, personal observations, and comparison of the various areas. You feel like you’ve got both a travel guide with you, but also a friend who you get to know better along the way.

This book was so nice to read, you almost felt like you where there with all the people Jasna met! It’s written with so much love and passion. I would recommend this book to anyone who is curious about the pacific and its people.

Reading the book, I was surrounded by unfamiliar colours and overwhelmed by the scent of flowers I had never touched. I could feel the soft sand beneath my feet and slipped beneath the water to swim in the deep silence of the ocean. Returning to the surface, I encountered the smiles of people who were content in the here and now, embodying the freedom and softness of their lives.
