- We almost hit a reef in Tahaa!
We loved Tahaa and Bora Bora. We hope that you can see that from the pictures in this video. The view was amazing from the top of the mountain in Bora Bora and we got to see an octopus really close up at Tahaa.
We hope you will enjoy it!

More great scenery both on top of the water,and underneath.
I'm so pleased that Hilma is all repaired,and ready to sail.I think you would be pleased too👍
Nice to see another episode,I realise you've been very busy with repairs,and that takes priority over film making.
All the best to you both☺️
Thank you so much! We really are. It feels great to be able to continue again and we have just been sailing to four atolls in the Marshall Islands for a couple of weeks which we enjoyed a lot. Everything worked fine and we are excited to sail to Micronesia in a couple of days.
Yes, we try to do 2 movies per months and we really hope we can find internet further on so we will be able to post them frequently.
All the best to you too! 😊⛵

Hello Hilma Dudes, There so many You Tube Cruiser's in this area recently, and the Videos are just awesome, with all the spectacular views of this area. This definitely looks like one of those places you must see before you die. Thanks for your precious view of this awesome area. Sail safe, smart, and continue living the dream, I love y'all.
Hello! Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏🏼☺️ Thank you for wanting to watch them. Take care!
It's so nice to know that everything is OK with your boat! Wonderful video, thanks!
Thank you. We have now been sailing to some atolls here in Marshall Islands during the last weeks and everything works fine again. It feels great! Thank you!
Beautiful, wow!
Thank you so much Mike and yes, it was a wonderful place! 😊
Your videos are absolutely beautiful. I `m glad that you`ve got the boat repaired and can continue your journey. Thanks for sharing your travels and keep posting your excellent videos.

Excellent vid ya'll, beautiful vid from the peak.
Thanks. Yes, it was really beautiful there!
Great episode - luv-ya both!
Thank you so much! :)
What an incredible beautiful place!!! 👌🏻👌🏻
It really was! We loved French Polynesia. So many atolls and islands and so much to see 👌🏼😊
I know I'm a year behind, but that Octopus footage was amazing!
No worries, so are we with the editing ;)
Beautiful view from the peak, I wish you would have filmed more from there.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
It was. If we come back in the future we will. :) Thank you for watching them :)
Excellent story telling.
Thank you very much!
Superb! Breathtaking scenery! (And very well spotted with the Octopus!) :-)
Thank you! We really enjoyed to watch the octopus! :)
Good jobb with the episode
Thank you so much! 😊
That is great news on your rudder repair. Stay safe.
Yes, we are so happy about it! You too ☺️
I hereby offer a life trade. Details pending, but you're cool with two middle school kids and a minivan right? 😁
beautiful episode once again. such a difference from the one getting towed in. very curious how the rudder in the end got replaced. save sailing
Thank you so much. We will show you in a future episode when we change the rudder in the water and fix the other things. We are just a little late with the episodes 😊⛵
Beautiful! Sorry you hurt your toe!🥰
Thank you. It wasn't very bad and it was better in a few days. But thank you so much! 😊
WOO HOO!!! I am so happy to hear your rudder is fixed and you are good to go on more adventures! Wind & waves are just normal problems for cruisers. 😃👍
Interesting, my two favorite cruising channels are you and RAN, and both have had toe accidents!?
Oskar: Your toe is better so you can do crossword puzzle?
Lisa: [slowly lowers sunglasses without saying a word!]
Me: LOL!! 😂👍
So are we! It feels great to be able to sail again and we have now explored some of the atolls here in Marshall Islands. Beautiful! 😊⛵
Haha, so we've heard. Maybe the hatches do not like Swedish girls.. 😝
Haha.. I/Lisa did not now how to respond to that!! 😂
@@HilmaSailing Ah! I took it that you were non-verbally telling Oskar "I'm not going to dignify your silly question with a response". I am a big fan of silly questions/humor, and related with Oskar in that moment. For not knowing how to respond, you gave the perfect response!! 😊👍🧡
Haha, that's good! 😃
Hey im a new sub. Love your videos. Ill be on the oceans again by new years.
Best wishes
Hi, thank you so much! Oh, that sounds great. Maybe we will meet each other on the ocean one day then :)
Thanks for the intro. Great news on the rudder! Lots of other repairs still to go, I'm sure. Lisa, don't worry about how you look in the morning. Other girls would need to buy a lot of beer for their boyfriends to look so good. :-D I hope your toe is all better. It was a similar incident (IIRC) on RAN that cut Malin's toe. Ouch, in both cases. What is it with Swedish girls, toes and hatch covers?
It was actually pretty easy to mount the rudder in the water and that was one of the last things we had to do so we left Majuro a few days later and have now been sailing between some atolls here in Marshall Islands the last weeks. It was beautiful! :)
Haha, I don't know about that.😝 My toe was better in a few days so that was good and now only half of the nail is blue so it should be back to normal in some months :D Haha, we've heard that. They really do not like us! ☝🏼😀
Are you going to give some more technical detail/video on the rudder failure and the subsequent repair? However notwithstanding that, pleased to hear you are all good to go now and sorry to learn of the foot injury.
Yes, we will :) We are behind with the video production (sorry about that) but we will make at least an episode about that in the future. We have visited so many beautiful places here in the Pacific so we want to show that first, but in some months we will show you about it all. :) We are great now and so are the toe. :)
Hilma Sailing That’s all very good to hear.👍
Coconuts on the islets (motus) are not free. The owners use them to make copra, which is the only source for cash for many. I was nearly eaten alive by black and white striped mosquitose on a motu next to Bora Bora. They are born in rainwater in coconuts husks that have been harvested for copra.
Were you able to find out what caused the rudder to break ?
In a previous episode, they found it was galvanic corrosion. A loose wire shorted out and caused the problem over several months. They checked everything before they left Sweden, and it was in perfect condition then. They also pointed out it wasn't a manufacturing fault (I am pleased as I have an identical yacht to Hilma !)
Kind regards, John (NZ).
Thanks John, that's correct. We will have an episode about it further on but as you say, it's good that it was not a manufacturing fault. :)
PERDÓN OSCAR
Afaik Navionics sonar charts use interpolated data based on true(ish) charts. They do not contain any more information than the real charts. Using sonar charts in a decently charted location like the west coast of Sweden is fine. However, it will get you aground in less accurately charted waters.
If you'd turn the real (normal Navionics) chart on in that bay, you'd see some of the warning signs that the bay is in fact uncharted: there is only 20meter depth curve, and there is 0.3m sounding where it is supposed to be 5-20m deep.
We show the sonar chart in the video but we navigate from the "normal" Navionics as you are referring to. We reported some under water rocks in that area when we discovered this. Do you think our report made an affect on the charts? We really can't remember that we saw some warnings when we were there. :)
Judging by how many has had GPS aided grounding on the reef south of Raiatea, I doubt that any changes will happen.
HOLA OSCURO. HOLA LISA
ESPERO ESTÉN BIEN .
SALUDOS SU AMIGO MANUEL PEÑUÑURI
Hola Manuel! Todo es bien con nosotros. Esperamos estas bien tambien!
Saludos Oskar y Lisa en Marshall Islands (und o dos dias mas y despues Micronesia:) )
What is it with you Swedish girls smashing your toes with hatches? :) That happened to Malin from RAN Sailing last year also. I hope everything healed up ok.
Haha, that's a good question! What is it with al those hatches I wonder! :) Yes, thank you. it's still blue (6 months later) but it did not hurt for long so that was good! :)
