The life of a sailor is often marked by periods of solitude...but THIS is something else completely.
We're anchored at an uninhabited island in the Tuamotus of French Polynesia. And we're the ONLY boat here. We weren't really sure how long we ...
10+ years into this journey together and I'm even more in love with this sailor girl than ever 🫶 For those of you that have watched our older videos, this one is a little throwback to ep. 46 (just a casual 400 episodes ago 😂 ). Like our time in the Philipines, our stay in Tahanea stands out as...

We continue cruising around the Tuamotu islands in French Polynesia, mainly in Fakarava atoll, where we meet some locals who take us spearfishing. But it all turns to custard as Jamie ends up in Hospital.

One of the trickiest aspects of sailing in coral atolls and around coral reefs is avoiding snagging the anchor chain around coral outcrops to not get stuck as well as to not damage any coral.
We look at a tried and tested method for anchoring around coral using our very own fenders.
The wall of sharks, a wildlife phenomenon in the southern pass of Fakarava atoll, where sharks gather in large numbers and prey on the groper fish that spawn there. And there's nothing going to hold us back from diving with the sharks!

At the western end of the Tuamotus archipelago, the longest chain of islands on Earth stretching all the way from Muroroa to Mataiva just off Bora Bora, lies the atoll of Fakarava. Here we find the remarkable Shark Whisperer.
And what happens when you put some Kiwis and Aussies together in a small...
Two yachts is a race, three yachts is a regatta! And when it's two Kiwi yachts, an American cat and an Aussie yacht, it's the America's Cup, or as now El likes to call it 'The Kiwi Cup'. At least that's what you get when we all make the run from the atolls Kauehi to Fak...
This week we are going to get an in-depth tour of a pearl farm on the remote Tuamotu atoll of Fakarava. Fakarava and the Tuamotus have long been known for their black pearl farms and we learn just how time intensive this process can be and one of the experts shows us how it done. Then we take time ...
We've always dreamt of this: sailing to our very own South Pacific coral atoll, 1,000 miles from anywhere, and all alone and all to ourselves. And we find it in Kauehi - at least for a couple of days. And then it only gets better when our fellow sailor friends arrive and the fun ramps up!

We head to the only pearl farm (Havaiki Lodge) on the atoll that still allowing tours during COVID, although it was all in French so we didn't understand anything. We then prep to leave Fakarava and sail off to Tahiti crossing the lagoon entrance exactly at the slack tide mark. It was a little ...
#BoatLife before the Pandemic: As we explore the remote atolls of the Tuamotus, the stress of that remoteness comes home. We attempt to find food, we give you a tour of our nav table, and we explain how we do our watch schedule. We learn how to use our camera (finally), and Elizabeth battles with so...

After a Shark-tacular week in Fakarava South it's time to set sail, but first we deal with a bit of BoatLife Reality.
