Today, it’s been two years since I set off on my cruise...
Two years ago, I left the Honolulu Harbour in the Hawaiians Islands and started the cruise of my dreams... I have this feeling that time goes by differently for those who are on the sea...
Many times I have been asked about the biggest success of my cruise. I always answer that it’s the fact that I was fighting for eight years to make my dream come true and I didn’t give up.
‘And the most difficult moments of the cruise?’
 ‘Those spent in the galley,’ I answer.
‘And the most beautiful views that you remember?’
‘Postcards of the ocean, moments spent with the children from the Against the Odds Foundation, and those with my friends on the coasts of new lands...’
Recently, someone has asked me if I have changed. I guess I have, but you know what? there is one thing I’m sure of – I’m happy that my cruise hasn’t finished yet!
dolphins have just visited me...
I get many letters from you. You tell me how my cruise has become an inspiration for you. I’m happy reading about your revived dreams, not only those related to sailing. In the long, lonely evenings I warm myself up with the thoughts about your emails, in which you support me in my cruise and make me feel even stronger about the sense of what I do...it’s really wonderful that you write me such nice words... Thank you all very much for that!
I wish I could share these words with the whole world to hearten up those, who still haven’t believed in their dreams... if I made my dreams come true, then everyone can do it! For this reason, on the anniversary of setting on my round-the-world cruise, I’d like to ask you to send me letters in which you’d describe the influence of my adventure on your life or dreams. Hereby, I officially open a contest and I kindly ask all people who have already written to me, to send me their letters again. You can send your letters by the Write to Natasza gate, which is on the website of my blog. And I promise to choose the winner, who will be given a surprise award, in 14 days after my home-coming. And if the author agrees, his/her letter will be published on my website  www.nataszacaban.com
So grab your pens and I’m looking forward to receiving your letters.
