67 - We Witnessed The First Breaths of a Humpback Calf!
January 03, 2018 by Out Chasing Stars | Language: EN Play Time: 00:19:09 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We saved the best of Tonga’s Ha’apai Group for last as we were the only humans around to witness a newborn humpback calf being helped to the surface by it’s mother in order to take it’s first breaths. This was an amazing instance of being in the right place at the right time, and it’s definitely a moment we’ll remember forever.
I’m also quite proud to share that we managed to successfully fly our big blue spinnaker twice without ripping it while moving between islands. Given our prior history with the sail (3 rips in 6 total deployments), I was ecstatic to even have a little bit of success. Hopefully we’ll continue to get better and get a lot more use out of the sail!
After all the excitement with whales and sails, the time had come to leave Tonga and sail to Fiji. On our way out, Amy and I both looked at each other and said “I’m so glad we decided to come here this year.” The Ha’apai Group is such a pristine, remote collection of islands, so infrequently visited by cruisers and it became a very special place for us.

Out Chasing Stars
Welcome to Out Chasing Stars! We're Admiral Amy and Captain David and we're currently exploring the world on s/v Starry Horizons, our Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 catamaran. We started out (nervously!) watching our boat get launched in La Rochelle, France in October of 2014. Since then we've completed an entire world circumnavigation, sailing over 37,000nm, and documented it all here on YouTube. We started making these videos to show our family and friends what life was like on a sailboat, and we're still amazed that other people have also started following along. It's been so much fun to share our adventures and we love reading all the comments and support! There's a lot of world left to see so don't forget to check back in and subscribe! You can check out our blog: www.outchasingstars.com And of course, we're also on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/outchasingstars/ https://www.instagram.com/outchasingstars/
