Living The Dream: A Day in the Life - CATAMARAN LIFE in the Tuamotus - Sailing Family (Ep. 63)
March 15, 2025 by Sailing Machete | Language: EN Play Time: 00:22:23 | SAILING YOUTUBERS

This week we sail the 400nm from Fatu Hiva to Raroia – our first atoll in the Tuamotus. We go through our first entrance pass into the lagoon, which can be dangerous, and slowly make our way dodging bommies through the atoll. We fish, hunt crabs, and spend our time eating coconuts and hanging with locals.
Thank you for watching and subscribing. You don’t know how much we appreciate it!
To God be the glory!
