All the beginning is difficult, it was also something Frederik and Emil had to true as they started by digging into the experiences and stories of others traveling the world around. With no experience in sailing, where do you start?
The first and most important thing was to find the right ship. There are many ships and for each of their purposes they are good enough ships. For a land crossing it requires much more. The ship must have space, the ship must be strong and then one must fall in love with it. Then it takes hard work to get into the specific “sailor language” – fiberglass, galvanic corrosion, rig, motor care – yes the list of new words was long for Emil and Frederik.

After a long search, it then found the redemption – a ship built in 1988 in Germany; Nautilus. An elderly lady who carried around a sea of ​​stories and stories – something of which the beautiful sailing ship, however, also had the mark. Nautilus is a hammering nice 55 foot fiberglass ship. In front of the two boys lay a challenge they could hardly imagine. But where there is will there is a way – something Eric can only recognize. After the boys had put in the first 500 hours of work, it was clear; they were in love with Nautilus. A lot more hours later Frederik and Emil were licensed to sail Nautilus – but still had almost no experience of sailing – and not at all enough to hijack the wild world garden.
