From SQUALLS to SERENITY: Sailing Upwind to Marquesas
We’re hunkered down in Tikehau, a tiny atoll in the Tuamotus, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, waiting for squally weather to pass until we can continue our sailing journey to the Marquesas, the only safe haven for sailors spending cyclone season in French Polynesia.
Taking the time to look in the lagoon’s clear water, we see the life we are part of, the lagoon is a mirror of what we are, what we can be. It’s not just water, it’s a lesson. We are not stuck if we look, if we learn, if we see what’s really important. If we see these moments for what they are, not interruptions, but life, real and raw. The delay becomes a way to learn: it’s not about where you go, it’s about how you live when you are there.
The weather soon changes, and a brief break in the storms gives us a chance to sail 165 miles east to Fakarava, one step closer to the Marquesas. Fingers crossed we’ll make it in time.

If you’re new here, Harbors Unknown is the story of two dreamers, Kristin & Fabio Potenti, & our dog Yoda. We’re a small family living aboard our catamaran, SV Wanderlust, sailing to Harbors Unknown. Exploring the world, connecting with people and places through the local cuisine, and showing how great food can be cooked on a boat with limited space and resources. Seeking to balance the desire to explore and travel to beautiful, remote locations while leaving no footprint, minimizing the Hawthorne effect of the observers who change the environment she or he observes.
We hope to inspire people and showcase the possibility of living an alternative lifestyle that provides freedom and fulfillment, all while keeping it real. Sharing the trials and tribulations of living off-grid, acknowledging the discomfort of detoxing from the modern world, finding pleasure in the subtleties of nature and joy in simplicity. Attempting to understand what makes the world tick and tock but also trying to gain a deeper comprehension of ourselves and identify what will satisfy that hunger for further exploration, for purpose. We have set off on our voyage sailing around the world! Subscribe now to join our sailing adventure.

Harbors Unknown
Harbors Unknown is the story of two dreamers, Kristin and Fabio Potenti, and our French Bulldog Yoda. We sold our home at the beginning of the pandemic (May 27th, 2020) and moved aboard our Seawind 1600 catamaran, SV Wanderlust, in September. We’re documenting boat life as live aboard sailors, sharing our learnings, sailing adventures, travel experiences and delicious meals cooked on board. We're sailing SV Wanderlust to Harbors Unknown, to explore the world’s vast cultures through food, a common thread amongst people everywhere. Connecting with people and places through the local cuisine, and showing how those dishes can be cooked on a boat with limited space and resources. We hope to inspire people and showcase the possibility of living an alternative lifestyle living on a boat that provides freedom and fulfillment.
