Sailing alone across the Pacific Ocean. French Polynesia

- In the middle of the Pacific: Intact islands, stunning landscapes. The best places I have seen so far. I sail alone. Reykja is a 35-year-old steel ketch. I meet friendly people, search for weathered tikis, marvel at enigmatic fish and screeching birds. And learn how to navigate the atoll: strong currents in the passes, nasty coral reefs in the unmapped lagoon. My route: From Hiva Oa in the Marquesan archipelago to Tahiti, Fakrarava and Tikehau in the Tuamotu archipelago
Danke!
Gerne!
I've been watching your recent videos and past experiences such as Domenica. I really appreciate your method of storytelling and sharing of your thoughts. It's quite a different experience to other UA-camrs who believe they must document their journey with daily updates. I realise you must discard hours of video to give us this well chosen edit of interesting experiences.
Thank you soulpower for your keen interest. That's very comforting to hear! I reckon that 90 seconds of finished video needs an eight hour working day. Quite weird actually. But ok so far for me. I would not be capable to make one video per week. That would be a full time job and no more sailing...
From Tasmania. You are inspiration my friend. I love sailing. I have a Duncanson 29. I have spent time on and around the Bass and the south of the mainland. I am a Kiwi and my wife a German from Flensburg. I am a carpenter by trade I but was a paramedic for many years. I am seriously considering buying a bigger vessel and sailing around the world. I am struggling with PTSD butI find myself longing for the ocean more and more. I don't have much contact with many people. I don't want to stay in this rut. Anyway thanks. I might meet you one day. My last name is Bones. PS. Please buy a bottle of caster oil and betadine for your Travels. God bless you mate.
Thank you shane. All the best for your considerations about buying a larger boat and sailing longer passages. It can be lonely on an ocean. But I think it's inspirational as well.
Ah, and greetings to your wife. I love Flensburg.
Thanks for the fantastic video. And for your honest reflections. I think you have good way of focussing stay healthy 👍
Best regards from Jarle
Thanks Jarle! Great to hear this. You have an interesting channel yourself!
@@SailingAloneAcrossTheOcean thank you. At the moment I'm not on any great voyages like you. I'm just showing of the Norwegian coast. But I'm sure enjoying myself.
Sublime
Thank you carlos! Nice compliment.
Very nice.
Fair winds and following seas.
Waiting for the next video.
Thanks
Thank you paolo for you reaction!
Hi ,, when you went to Tahiti for 3 days,, weren’t you worried about your boat? I would be so scared to leave the boat.
By the way your vids are great,,cheers mate
Yes I was worried. But the weatherforecast predicted stable winds and the holding was good. I didn't had much choices here.
Great video! I really enjoy your content and narration. Glad to see you recovered fully. Fair winds friend.
Thank you Marc for your well wishing!
You are having adventures. Glad you know when to take action with your health. Be well.
Thank you growingknowledge for your wishes!
Glad you were feeling better at end of video….hard enough to be sick alone on shore never mind on a boat alone. Take good care.
Thank you Johanna! Yes, being ill alone on the ocean is weird
How's that eating free fruit off the side of the road, working out?
It was a local who gave it to me. Me as foreigner I would have been more reluctant and would have bought it. Maybe I got my infection from that.
Exciting views; so glad you are feeling much better. Take care!
Thanks tag! I'll try to take care. It does't work always that way, see new video...
@@SailingAloneAcrossTheOcean I will!
Anda adalah Petualang sejati 👍
Thank you Erol!
Thanks for your great videos - really authentic stuff. Keep it up. Where are you going next?
Tomorrow I'll start from Bora Bora to Penrhyn, Northern Cook Islands. Approximately six days on sea.
Have a great sail! In your next video please give us your toughts on sailing solo - the freedom and solitude. How it feels. I wonder about that. Thanks.
I am thinking about that. Something like: Ten questions you always wanted to ask solo sailors
