STUCK in French Polynesia— Now What?
After deciding to leave French Polynesia 6 months earlier than we had initially planned, it seemed like everything was lining up perfectly for us to make a last-minute trip to New Zealand ahead of cyclone season. Unfortunately, our weather window disappeared in a matter of hours, ultimately forcing us to check back into the country and commit to staying through April. Join us for this transitional period where we fully embrace Plan B- watching a local outrigger canoe race and starting to make our way back East.

Holly and Ray
Just a couple of sailors trying to stay afloat and filming along the way! With no jobs and no plan, we live every day like it’s Saturday. ⛵️ Originally from Portland, Oregon, and San Diego, California, we sold all our belongings in exchange for a life on the water. Now, we are slowly circumnavigating! With backgrounds in science and engineering, we have a knack for technology and self-repairs. Our vlogs are casual, real-time videos that feature us enjoying and constantly trying to improve upon our 2017 Lagoon 42. Email: [email protected]
