\”One day you have to die, but other days you have to live\” – the sailing duo sold everything, shipwrecked in Australia and finally returned

Tourism / 2022-08-21

Aiski Kainuvaara and Miia Pärnänen encourage others to go on a sailing trip. The end of the six-year journey was witnessed by dozens of people at Kirkkonummi’s Kantvik harbor.

– No pressure for parking! No one is looking that way, comes the cry.

Dozens of people burst into laughter on the sun-baked platform. Each pair of eyes is directed at the approaching boat. The air vibrates with anticipation.

The red sailboat, Omaha, has just arrived at Kirkkonummi’s Kantvik harbor. Beaching seems to go smoothly for sailors as they are used to. And it’s no wonder, because this has been done a lot lately.

The trip was carefully planned

Kaunuvaara already dreamed of such a trip as a child.

– This has been a dream since I was little. Then it happened to be the right moment for work – and otherwise – to leave. We wanted to do this trip while we are still young and fresh and able to move.

The initial spark happened in 2007 in South America. That’s when Kainuvaara decided that he wanted to make such a trip.

The first thing I had to do was get a passing game. He bought a steel 42-foot Danish sailboat. Omaha, who was about 40 years old, was not yet ready for the trip.

– For five years it was renovated, repaired and prepared. Then the decision was made to leave.

Kainuvaara and Pärnänen sold everything for the trip. The apartment and chattels were allowed to leave. All funds were used for the long-awaited trip.

The anchor rose on June 29, 2016 from Kirkkonummi.

Skippers Ismo \ — \”We left with a bit of a yellow beak. We had never done something like this before.\” Miia Pärnänen and Aiski Kainuvaara received sparkling wine in honor of their homecoming.
