Day Sail Highs + Dragging Nights in the Marquesas | Ep. 107

We’re excited to take you along on our first sail in French Polynesia to the north side of Nuku Hiva. Despite the lack of autopilot and twenty-knot winds along a lee shore, our curiosity is at an all-time high. Anaho Bay is reputed to be the calmest anchorage in all of the Marquesas. However, as night fell, we faced an unexpected challenge when a powerful squall swept through the bay. Neighboring boats dragging anchor drew uncomfortably close, ruining our plan for a peaceful night’s rest. Though, in the end, the raw beauty of this remote paradise more than made up for the disturbance.

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.
