- We are thrilled to be able to share this extraordinary experience with you. This episode isn't about sailing, it's about a heartfelt exploration of the Marquesan spirit, thanks to some of the kindest individuals we have ever met. Not only did they open their hearts and homes to us, they allowed us a rare glimpse into the heart of their culture - an experience seldom witnessed by the typical visitors.
In this video, we go on the ultimate French Polynesian adventure, a wild Marquesan hog hunt. UA-cam will not allow us to share our full experience due to their community guidelines however, for those of you interested in the uncensored experience, head over to our Patreon account where you can view the full video:

A fantastic cultural experience. The warmth and kindness given to you and Gary and your friends is clearly a model that should aspire us daily. Thank you guys for a superb video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you, Trent! This was such an incredible experience for us. Not sure if you saw the post on Patreon but we posted the 'uncensored' version there if you are interested. 💙
Those families showed lots of generosity! Amazing!
It is incredible how kind and generous people are to complete strangers. We still can't believe how hospitable the Marquesan people are!
@@SailingOneLife thanks for sharing such authentic moments.
NO amount of money can buy what they experienced today !! Absolutely priceless !!❤️💯👍🙏⛵️
Such an amazing experience! 💙💙
Wow, how exciting! What an amazing, once in a lifetime experience! The South Pacific is absolutely one of my top destinations in life, as I have dreamed about it all my life. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for coming along with us! We are so grateful to be able to share this experience! The South Pacific has been so good to us. 💗
Y’all are my favorite You Tubers of all the sailing shows. Brooke, you narrate the best, and the way you tell true story makes it different from the other channels. We have a sailboat too and one day want to do what you do. You keep it real but also convey optimism. Thanks!!
Hi Charlotte! Aw, thank you so much for such a sweet comment. Really appreciate that! Happy to hear you are enjoying our channel and we hope to cross paths with you one day! 💙🌎
What a great experience this had to be! Thanks for sharing. ❤
It was incredible! Thank you for watching and commenting! 💙
What a wonderful experience with both families in this episode. Fair winds and following seas… ⛵️
Hi Jeff! Yes! We are so thankful to both families for bringing us into their lives. Simply amazing.
lol, The way this started, I thought I was fixing to watch a "One Life - Blair witch" cross over video. Well done on the hunt.
Haha! Yes definitely a similarity in how to started! It was really tough to run, chase the dogs and film 🤣 thanks, Gibb! 💙
What an amazing people they are---so hospitable while having so little--Thanks for bringing us along !!
It's pretty amazing how people with so little are the ones who give so much. We are eternally grateful for this experience.
How beautiful, and beautiful people.
Dogs are amazing in this natural environment. They know what we want, and they know with us beside them, nothing is impossible. It's the ultimate trust.
A memorable video for sure, and tough moving on.
Hey Barry! The dogs were incredible! The way they listened and followed commands was unreal.
This is the coolest sailing adventure I’ve seen!! Thank you for sharing.
Hey Ryan! Thank you! We feel super lucky to have been able to experience this! Glad you enjoyed coming along with us!
Thanks. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all could spread that acceptance and co-operation to everyone. How fabulous would our word be then? thanks for showing us how it REALLY should be!
Yes, wouldn't the world be an incredible place? Thanks for watching, Jerry!
Wow! I've seen that harbor on several other youtubes, but never saw the amazing couple that lives there. What an honor to be able to go along on the hunt, so stinkin' cool!
We were so incredibly fortunate to have met them and to experience the true Marquesas hospitality!
I swear the Tahitian people are so welcoming and the other islands when I was there in July
I miss being there.
We cannot get over how friendly people are in the South Pacific. It's amazing. 💙🌎
Brook and Gary you guys rock. The best video yet!
Ahh thank you! So glad you liked this one! We couldn't wait to share it!
What a amazing experience you did a fantastic job of sharing it thank you very much
Hey Brad! Thank you! This one was a bit tough for us to edit due to YT guidelines but we think it captured our experience well!
With Brooke and Gary at the helm, you truly get a sense of "being there", fantastic narrative, authentic experiences that dont feel staged for the camera. number 1 in my books.
Thanks, Andrew! We really appreciate it! 🍻💙 Love having you come along with us!
Brooke and Gary.You guys out did yourself on this video.This is old Delos level stuff.🤟

What an amazing family hosting you for the evening.......such lovely people.
Hey Graham! The Marquesans are one of a kind. Truly amazing place.
That was the best video of your experiences I have seen so far. SO grateful to have had to opportunity to see that. Thank you!
Hey Matthew! Thank you! This is one of our favorite videos. Happy to hear you enjoyed it too!
What an incredible experience, very few people get the opportunity to meet such lovely people and live for a few days in their super welcoming and generous culture. Every minute of the Pacific crossing has paid back in pure gold! Great video guys.
Hey Richard! Thank you! Yes, the South Pacific has been extremely good to us! Worth every night watch along the way! 💙🌎⛵👍
Hey Brook n Gary thanks again for another awesome episode, I actually love how you get to embrace the local culture and enjoy the opportunity to live the culture also!! I am absolutely 💯 loving your south pacific adventures so far!!! Enjoy guy's and stay safe out there!!! Cheers 🍻
Hey Danny! Thank you! We were so excited to share this video. Being able to see a part of their culture not typically seen by tourists was just amazing. One of our top experiences while sailing!
@@SailingOneLife yes you guy's certainly are living the dream for all of us! Can not wait to meet you guy's in Australia when you get here!!! Stay safe guy's!!
@@dannyfisher9223 didn't realize you were in Oz! Where at??
@@SailingOneLife central Queensland coast guy's! There are a lot of good protected bays and areas for one life here when you guy's are close !!!
Ah cool! Maybe we will see ya next cyclone season! 😉

Great episode! Thank you.
Interesting to see the night hunt. A real connection to one’s food.
I would have been all over that experience.
Hey Brent! Thank you! It was an experience we will never forget.
Tyvm amazing video as usual n what great people you've met
Thanks, Dennis! Such amazing souls!
that was the best episode yet!!! so awesome !
Ah thanks so much! This is one of our favorite episodes! Glad you enjoyed it too!
Great one! I watch the other version but closed my eyes a couple times :-). What a shot that guy took. I know it was close but still, it was very humane. What an ass-kicking hike too. Those ridges get steep at the top. :-O.
Hey Joe! Yeah the other version is a bit intense! The dogs were incredible and Jose's shot was bang on. We aren't hunters but this experience was amazing to be a part of. It was crazy to see him hike up that ridge like a pro in the sandal style shoes he had on. The hike was tough!
WOW, THIS WAS AN AMAZING ADVENTURE INTO A CULTURE WELL DOCUMENTED!
Thank you!! So happy to be able to share this experience with you. 💙💙
To share time and experience the culture of the natives that live in these remote islands must be the experience of a lifetime. The families you meet seem so welcoming to you and I could not imagine something like that happening in the US. I'm just awed by your experiences and can't wait to see whats next. Cheers Gary and Brooke!
Hey Denis! It was definitely an experience of a lifetime and we are forever grateful to the families that shared their lives with us! Thank you for coming along with us on this journey! Cheers! 💙
We really enjoyed this episode! Thank you for taking us along with you. What a beautiful family.
Mark and Christiana on SV Mach 5
Hey guys! Thanks for coming along with us! Hope you are both doing well! 💙
That was one of the best sailing episodes I have ever seen! Life-time memories for sure. Thanks for sharing your life with us Brooke and Gary. Can't wait for the next adventure, I feel like you guys are spoiling us. Be well.
Hey Glenn! Wow, thank you! This is one of our favorite episodes as well! Good to hear you enjoyed it!
I just found you guys on You Tube and have binged watched all the episodes from the start of this trip, yes every minute of the sea passages. I'm 64 now and when I was 26yrs old I sailed across the Sth Pacific in my own 38ft sailboat from New Zealand to USA. This has brought back so many wonderful memories of catching mahi mahi, flying fish hitting me in the head, long periods of boredom, sail changes, tiredness, visiting remote islands, gazing at the huge night sky and lots of self reflection. I am about to go full circle and purchase another sail boat after almost 40yrs of not sailing. Whether I will go offshore again I'm not sure however your videos have stirred something that has been buried away for many years. My wife doesn't get it but I think a true sailor understands the call of the sea. Thank you again.
Hi there :) thank you so much for joining us out here! Happy to hear that we have sparked the sailor in you! Wow, that is incredible that you sailed from NZ to the US! That must have been tough! Did you go up to Hawaii?
I sailed with a friend although we made it hard on ourselves, 2 days out our self steering broke so we had to take turns on watch at the helm from that point on. In those days there was no such thing as GPS so we navigated with a sextant. Ist stop Tonga, then Samoa, Fanning Island and stopped in Hawaii for 6 weeks then on to San Diego where I ended up living for a couple of years. I am going to write down my memoirs for my grandchildren and the first book will be about this adventure. Your videos are so clear and well edited. I am now going back to the beginning and watching from when you first purchased your boat. Enjoy your one life @SailingOneLife .
Ok, we have to admit....that was a great intro!!!!! And what a cool experience meeting everyone. Thanks for sharing! Stay safe!
Hey guys! Thank you! We thought that was a fun one!
You all are so blessed to get to meet such wonderful people. I hope you get to meet many more and relish the experiences.
Thank you, Craig! The South Pacific has been very good to us! Hope you are well!
What an awesome adventure. You will always treasure this time.Go for it guys..
Thanks, Tim! Certainly will remember this experience forever!
Wow how awesome. By far one of my favorite videos. What an amazing experience. Hanging with the locals and how open and giving they are is so awesome. Still good ppl left in this world. ❤❤❤🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Hey Jorge! Thank you! This is one of our favorites as well! Such amazing generosity and kindness. If only the entire world was like this! 💙 See ya next episode!

@SailingOneLife just left the Bahamas and doing repairs in FL before heading to Puerto Rico. I'm not brave enough to travel the distance you two have!
Another great chapter in your book of life. What a wonderful adventure showing the amazing kinship of complete strangers. You and Gary are very lucky. Thanks for sharing the experience. As winter in slowly creeping into our lives (but not the cold weather luckily) it's great to be able to see what the warm weather travelers are experiencing. thanks!! Ed
Thanks, Ed! This experience was beyond anything we've ever encountered before. Hoping the winter isn't too brutal for you! It's a beautiful sunny day here today in NZ!
Awesome video

Wow another incredible adventure! The island folks are so wonderful!❤ thanks again for sharing ❤

What an incredible experience guys!! You did such an awesome job with this episode!

@@SailingOneLifemiss you too! ❤️
How could you possibly "schedule" or "book" an adventure like this!? Yall are living the dream. Keep it up!
Right?! We were so fortunate to be able to experience this! Thank you! 💙
What a great video! Right up my ally with this one, immersing yourselves in the culture and then some... The cool thing is, I think your hosts were just as excited and proud to show you how they live as you were to learn... Excellent job, thank you for taking us with you!!
Hey Bruce! We also think they were quite excited to have us! Their happiness is contagious and their generosity so above and beyond. Thanks for coming along with us and we will 'sea' ya next time!
OMG!! Cherish this visit! What a video!! Awesome y all!! Stay safe fair winds and following seas! Hugs! Later!
We are so fortunate to have been able to experience something like this! Thank you for coming along with us!
Wow Sailor, I can only dream of how it must have been visiting these people.
I Saluut you two for living life
Thank you so much! It was an incredible experience! 💙⛵🌎
There is no other way to learn that lifestyle/survival than by being allowed and welcomed into their world. You can study that kind of culture in books or even listen to someone from that lifestyle but you can never truly understand how they survive without being there to experience it in real time.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
You are absolutely right. We are so thankful for this experience. Thank you for your comment and for coming along with us!
Another super groovy episode. You two are so blessed.
We are so fortunate to have experienced something like this! What amazing people!
OMG you guys!!! this is exactly how I immerse myself in culture! I so cannot wait to meet you on the big blue! I love how you appreciate and embrace where you are, its not over rendered, but real, thank you for that. you guys truly motivate others to live the dream! I will will see you soon! leaving SD for Mx on 12/20….game on!!!

At one point I thought I was watching the “Blair Witch Project” with the lights the shaky cam and you guys running through the woods. LOL how fun.
Hahah it's tough to film in the dark let alone while running and chasing a hog 🤣😂 we are actually surprised the footage came out as well as it did!
One of your best videos…
Thank you, Greg! Not sure if you saw the Patreon post but we put the uncensored version there if you are interested. Hi to Carol for us! 💙
Amazing
Thank you! Such a wild experience!
This was amazing to watch. There are truly amazing people out there in this world. I wish it was this way in North America. I live in Canada, and people always say how nice we are. We don't even slightly compare to the people you have met there. I can't wait for the day I set sail and experience this for myself.
Thank you! It was an unbelievable experience. We can't get over how generous and welcoming the Marquesans are. Such a special place! Hope to see you out on the water one day!
Incredible guys! ❤
Thank you, Caroline! 💗
Great content thought I was there with you. I’m subscribing❤
Hey Simon! Thanks for coming along with us!
French Polynesia 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Such an amazing place! 💙
Wow what a place and the hospitality of the people of the Islands. The experience in the wild pig hunt the meals you received. I did not see any of this in the other sailing channels. You are actually the first to have shown this. That was really cute when the man patted the big pig of his on the side and the pig lay down to get rubbed. Those dogs were trained very well. And at first when I saw the man showing you the woodwork, he did make those clubs. I thought for sure he was going to try to sale you one or something. I was pleasantly surprised no as that was for his personal use. Overall great educational video thanks
Thank you, Jonathan! It was a very amazing experience. The people in the Marquesas are so kind and will share anything they possibly can. They inspire us to be better people.
Very cool.
Thanks, Dennis!
What an incredible experience.
Hey Chris! Agreed, 100% in the top experiences we've had out here!
JIMMY !!!! 😂 good people get good rewards 🏁🏁🇺🇸🇺🇸
We had such a good time there!! Thank you! 🙌🙌
OMG 😱 WOW, Gary and Brooke ‼️ What an expertise you are having......" somewhere over the rainbow." The lobster meal looked fabulous!! And I can only imagine your wild boar hunt and meal. Such amazing people. Great examples to human kind. See you next time. ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨
Hi Richard! Thank you! This experience was really special. We still can't get over how kind and generous the Marquesans are. If only all of the world treated each other like this! 💙
@@SailingOneLife. Amen and amen, Brooke. ❤
That was real adventure awesome.
Thanks for coming along with us! Glad you enjoyed it!
So cool, 😎. I'm from Vancouver island and living 20 years in the Dominican republic. I'm moving to the Philippines this coming February. Grow up on a floating house on a lake . I don't have the money to buy a large boat so I live my dreams through people like you. God bless and stay safe. Following ❤❤
How cool that you grew up on a floating house! We hope to cross paths with you in the Philippines! It's on our list! Cheers!
Awesome!!!!! Yummmmy!!!
Thank you!
@@SailingOneLife I eat them all the time!!!!
Ah so cool!
Cool adventures!
Thanks! Hope you join us for some more!
*Wow it was a beautiful thing seeing such genuine generosity and kindness. I'm curious if you left them a parting gift as well?* I’m a first time viewer of your channel and so grateful seeing this video to witness such kind souls and their wonderful way of life. 💙
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by and checking out our channel. The Marquesans are so generous and kind. This experience will always hold a special place in our hearts. We did gift then a few items, such as a waterproof spotlight, charger and per Tepua's request, chocolate!
Wow!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
So beautiful great videos
Thank you, George! Glad you enjoyed it!
very cool
Thank you! 🤙
A leeward Xanadu of potent allure.
💙🌎⛵
WOW
💙🌎 thank you!
eating high on the hog is pretty nice, great video
Yes, an incredible experience for us! Thank you!
Wow… such amazing experiences for you guys. Wish it was me exploring that area. But… no boat.
Thank you, Anne! This experience is certainly one of the highlights of our travels.
catching up....
Wonderful experience on that night hunt. It's all fun and games until you pull the trigger. After that it's hard work! Scraping the pig's hide is a tough job too. Did you offer to get your hands dirty and help?
Yes! We were able to help with it all. Unfortunately YT wouldn't let us show the 'whole' story. We were shocked how tough it was to scrape the hide!
Great content. Makes you question living in grey and cold northern England. 🤷♂️
Ooof. Not sure we could live in a cold climate again!
