Unveiling Paradise: Holly and Ray’s Journey Through French Polynesia
Last week, you watched us hang out with the locals both above and below the water line. This week, join us as we enjoy a sunny day on a beautiful secluded beach in French Polynesia.
Embarking on a Sailing Adventure
To put it briefly, my partner Ray and I have sailed across various regions including the East Coast of the United States, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean. Now, we find ourselves on another incredible leg of our journey – navigating the Pacific Ocean and exploring French Polynesia.
An Unforgettable Exploration
Despite facing harsh weather conditions for a solid ten days prior, luck was on our side when we experienced clear skies, sunshine, and gentle winds. Armed with an enthusiastic spirit, we packed up our hoolie to create a cozy spot for a picnic, while Ray hung some laundry out to dry.
It didn’t take long for the local fish, known as krabbies, to show their disapproval of our presence on their home turf. Despite their protests, we secured our ideal location, set up a temporary shelter, and lounged under swaying palm trees.
A Hidden World
These enchanting atolls were formed when volcanic eruptions eroded away and left behind barrier reefs with accumulated debris. The formation resulted in mesmerizing lagoons, surrounded by vibrant greenery on one side while displaying a starkly contrasting barren landscape on the other.
Adventurous Ray discovered what seemed like potential treasure buried in shallow waters but faced the challenge of retrieving it with flip-flops as footwear. Despite his initial efforts, the excitement continued when he stumbled upon an elusive eel hiding beneath the waves!
A Productive Day
With a sense of purpose and determination, we engaged in essential boat maintenance, such as running our water maker, repairing exhaust elbows using JB Weld, and securing crucial items to aid future sailing adventures.
A Relaxing Conclusion
As clouds returned and threatened to disrupt the perfect ambiance, we decided to utilize a favorable weather window. The next day, we would sail up to another atoll in French Polynesia.
We enjoyed every last moment of tranquility on this slice of paradise before returning our attention to preparing for departure.
