Jasna Tuta is a Slovenian primary school teacher born and raised in Italy. She has always had a strong connection to the sea. At six years old, she took her first sailing course and she has been on the sea in one form or another ever since. At 29 she gave up a safe job to chase the horizon and bought a one way ticket to the other side of the world. In Australia she met Rick who introduced her to the sea gypsy life. Together they sailed in Australia, Mexico, French Polynesia, Tonga and Fiji. She decided to fund her travels by taking advantage of the writing talent that runs in her family blood (her late grandfather Alojz Rebula wrote 60 books in his life and is regarded as one of the best Slovenian writers, her mom Alenka is also a prolific Jasna Tuta is a Slovenian primary school teacher born and raised in Italy.

She decided to fund her travels by taking advantage of the writing talent that runs in her family blood (her late grandfather Alojz Rebula wrote 60 books in his life and is regarded as one of the best Slovenian writers, her mom Alenka is also a prolific writer, her book Feeling Blessed is a national best-seller). To date, Jasna has published over 100 magazine articles totaling over 350 full colour pages, 94 radio shows, over 100 paid newsletters and countless blog posts. She writes mainly in Slovenian, but occasionally also in Italian and English. She has been published by important titles like: Cruising World, Practical Boat Owner, Bolina and Nautica.
While in French Polynesia she and Rick were featured in the popular Ben Fogle’s program, New Lives in the Wild (season 4, episode 4). This is an hour long documentary about their life aboard and has been shown worldwide and translated in many languages.
She has written three books so far. The first one is a how-to guide that she co-authored with Rick, titled, Get Real Get Gone. It has been one of the best-selling sailing books on Amazon for over two years now and Tom Cunliffe included it in his list of essential reading material in his book, The Complete Yachtmaster.
In 2016 she released her first book in Slovenian, called, Moj svet sredi oceana, the account of their 32 days long Pacific crossing. The release was followed by 27 interviews for national television shows, radio stations, magazines and newspapers. Her book tour included over 25 book signings with an average of 100 people attending each.
In 2018 she published the English version of the book, called A Drop in the Ocean. One year later she has published All the Colours of Polynesia.

Sail with me in Polynesia

Sailing in Polynesia is everyone’s dream, but…is it really as stunning as they say?

As you probably already know, I spent three years sailing around the islands of Tahiti, also known as French Polynesia, and left a piece of my heart there. A friend of mine recently wrote:

“The world is full of beautiful places but then … then there is French Polynesia.”

Quotes by Jasna Tuta (?)

“I'll be happy when I buy a new car, when I pay off my debt, when I get married, when I get divorced, when I am rich, when the wind will start to blow ...,” an elegantly simple and effective recipe for constant dissatisfaction.”
― Jasna Tuta, A Drop in the Ocean
