  • An Atoll to Ourselves!
    Hi to everyone. Last time we left you we were in Makemo Atoll enjoying the peace and tranquillity. Time for me to catch up with some videos that I took over the last month or so. My laptop has been playing up recently, and it takes ages for it to process the videos. Also, I …

    Hi to everyone. last time we posted we had just arrived in the beautiful atoll of Raroia in the Tuamotu Archipelago.

  • Sailing to the Tuamotus
    French Polynesia is huge! It consists of many groups of islands or archipelagos that cover an area of sea about the size of wester Europe. We have three months to explore this area on our visa and so no chance to cover it all. Having been in the Marquesas Islands for over a month of …

  • Landfall
    Panama to Marquesas, French Polynesia, Day 30 Hi to everyone! We made it! We feel very happy with ourselves today. A big pat on the back. We have never achieved anything quite like this in our sailing lives, or even everyday lives. 4036 miles of sailing in 30 days half way across the blue Pacific …
  • Ripped Sail Arghh!
    Panama to Marquesas, French Polynesia Day 28 Hi guys. As I write this we are now some 150 miles from Atuona, the port of entry on Hiva Oa, in the Marquesas! But can we get there??? The last couple of days of sailing have been challenging. We go from rolling a round in big seas …
