Family, Fishing, & Sailing the Pacific - 1000 mile journey to an island we've NEVER heard of (69)
Our family of six lives on a sailboat and this week it’s time for us to leave French Polynesia because our visas are running out. We do a final hike up to the World War II cannons and check out of Bora Bora. We raise the sails and start our 1000 nm journey across the Pacific Ocean. We skip over the Cook Islands and set our sights on a place we’d never heard of – Niue. On the way, we celebrate Jenna’s birthday and experience some rough seas. We also do some deep sea fishing! We catch skipjack tuna, yellowfin tuna and reel in some mahi!
Thank you for watching and subscribing. You don’t know how much we appreciate it!
To God be the glory!
