    It's one of those experiences you can't expect as a traveler, but you always dream of. A local family decides to adopt you and treat you like family. Well, here in Palmerston it's sort of a tradition. Each sailor that decides to make their way to this remote atoll is given a mooring ball and adopted by locals for their stay. It is an incredible service and a wonderful experience.
    We hope you enjoy this little peek into local island life, cause we're happy to bring you along for the adventure.

    Nikki, Jason, I can't imagine what its like to float up to a mooring ball, tie off, and be accepted into, and being adopted by a local family. That when you think about it just blown my mind. I would so love to be doing exactly what you two are doing. Thank you for taking all of us along.

    Those kids are adorable. My daughter is the same age as Madeenia and I reckon they'd have a great time playing there. Sometimes I wish I could just pack up my family and move to a remote island like this. The community on these small islands is so much more closely knit than most highly populated places. Perfect for raising a family.

    I think it is fine that they ask visitors to help deliver needed items on the way to the island.

    So I just have to say, after watching a number of sailing channels....why I like yours the best...even compared to that one that starts with an L. You give us a complete tour....a little history, a little education, a view of the different foods where you are, a view of the habitat, wildlife, and marine life., your nautical charts, your enthusiastic personalities, and the people you meet, and great videography just to name a few. Other channels don’t ( only other is old seadog, ruby rose maybe) give such a awesome complete view...and not to the level of inspirational views that you two do. And your beautiful cats....bonus❤️ Thanks for sharing yourselves and the world in so many ways 😊

      Those two are very much in love, have fun friends, traveled Africa, the Mediterranean, New Zealand and along the Eastern coast of the USA and more. They remain in some places, fish hunting and exploring. They're calming... This vid isn't like the norm. It was tense, or more than usual.

And have new friends for life . Thanks for sharing this with all of us . Was probably a hard editing in those ruff waters ,and worrying about the boat .

Seeing the wave action as s/v Curiosity flew across the water was really cool to see! The island's hospitality extended to visitors is really sweet, along with the care they take to keep their island home special. It is tragic to see that much plastic washing up on their shores, yet it is so important and good for you to share this reality. Reminders of how we are all connected is so important for us all to see and feel. Thank you for sharing your adventures. They inspire and open windows & hearts to our beautiful world!

This world is filled with so many amazing people. I'm reminded of Anthony Bourdain and his shows. He showed us if we just sit down and break bread with someone it can change things. Yes we are a planet of my different people, cultures, races and and religions but yet in the end we are all human. I hope someday we can drop all the bs and realize we all should just live together. We have to try to get along on this little blue rock floating through the universe. Until then choose to see all of humility first and will do my part one person at a time. Enjoy your Sunday.

    Wow, when I read that it is customary to bring some items to this island, I did not expect it to be something like a huge printer. The way the wiki explains it, it seemed like simple postal mail.
    And very cool that you visited this place. When I saw that it was on your route, I was excited to see what you would see there.
