Sisu (a Finnish concept) is a grim, gritty, white-knuckle form of courage that is typically presented in situations where success is against the odds. It expresses itself in acting against the odds and displaying courage and resoluteness in the face of adversity, in other words, deciding on a course of action and then sticking to that decision even despite repeated failures.
All our videos on YouTube and content on Sailing Sisu Blog will be free (except for some treasure hunts tips 😊). Yes, free. We do not rely now or in the future, on any public contributions. We had a good run in life, from a poor bare feet school boy to 8 years successful Managing Director to 14 years working for the United Nations in 24 post-conflict or developing countries contributing to and implementing democratic election systems (earning at the same time 2 x BSc, 1 x MSc, 2 x PhD in Computer Sciences, Management and Information Systems) to a bare foot sailor boy. However, should you feel we did contribute to the body of knowledge, or entertained you, or you just like us, and you want to reward us, then this is the platform to do so. We will use the money to provide you good reviews on restaurants we find off the beaten t(r)ack on our journey!
