Sailing in the Society islands of the South Pacific: Worst and Best Encounters Ep 171
#sailingfamily #familytime #societyislands #frenchpolynesia #sailing #sailingadventures
While anchored near Moorea, we have a scary encounter with some locals while swimming in the anchorage area. We realise we have broken a rule about the distance required between us and the wildlife but we wonder why we were confronted in such an aggressive way. It reminds us of the incident that had happened a few years previously when a 14 year old boy was killed by a power craft while he was checking the anchor.
Soon after, we sail across to Huahine and find a beautiful beach where we have perhaps one of our most special encounters with a local there who teaches us how to make coconut bread but mainly brings us all closer together by sharing this very simple experience.
