We Sailed 3,000 Miles To Discover FATU HIVA PARADISE #sailing #oceanvoyage #travel Locations
Fatu Hiva is located in the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia, in the South Pacific Ocean. Its stunning natural beauty and lush landscapes make it a popular destination for adventurers and those seeking serenity. (-10.5081,-140.8588)
Breaking Waves
Alie and Ben living aboard SV Kiana (1989 Sceptre 41) in British Columbia, Canada. We have lots of projects to complete preparing Kiana to be back into her former world circumnavigation form. Our dream is to find remote surf breaks near acceptably safe Anchorage’s - motivated to disprove the idea that sailing and surfing don’t go well together, or at least have a lot of fun and adventures trying. If you are new to the channel try starting with our Season 2 playlist. If you enjoy that Season 1 and Season 0 are great character builders and fun to watch now that you got to know us :).
We produce and release sailing lifestyle Youtube Videos on the 1st and 15th of every month!
