ONLY BY BOAT Can You Experience The REAL French Polynesian Island Life ~ Vlog #68
November 24, 2019 by Sailing On Finding Avalon | Language: EN Play Time: 00:19:24 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Anchored in Maupihaa (otherwise known as Mopelia) – a remote atoll in the Society Islands of French Polynesia. No other boats around and no people; that is until we met Harry. This guy is one of 23 people who live on the island and he’s a coconut farmer.
We get chatting to Harry somehow – he speaks no English and we speak no French. It’s amazing how you can get by with a few gesticulations and drawing in the sand. He invites us to go fishing with him – at 5am! I’m not sure how we agreed to that when we were trying to replenish our energy stores for the 900 mile sail to Niue that lay ahead of us, but we did and we are glad we did too. Crumbs that was amazing! 25 fish in 50 minutes and all with a handline out the back of a sinking tin boat.
Harry brought us back to his amazing beach habitat to clean the fish and meet his pets. What a cool life this man lives.
The wind we had been hanging around for showed itself and it was time to make tracks. We goose-winged out of the island with full sails and full hearts.

Sailing On Finding Avalon
We are Jackson and Xanthe, a pair who met in an aprés-ski bar in the Snowy Mountains of Australia and instantly bonded over a love for adventure, travel and the ocean. In his youth, Jackson competed in international sailing regattas all over the globe. He thought it was a pretty spectacular way to see the world and always had the dream of taking to the seas on a more permanent basis. Xanthe thought it was the best idea she had ever heard and insisted he made his dream a reality and that he made it with her. We bought Finding Avalon in Croatia in the middle of 2018. She's a 2005 Elan Impression 384, and was a charter boat before we bought her. It’s been great fun kitting the boat out to make her fit to sail the open seas. We've now covered 20,000 nautical miles to get her back to Australia! Binge watch our channel to see the incredible journey from buying the boat to arriving home in Australia; and stick around for weekly videos as we share Sydney's treasures by sail.
