Rainy morning
2. April 2019 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
It was a rainy morning... However I took my gopro and the scuba mask to take pictures. Noting special but a good opportunity to get to know the camera. After I had Omelette. #manifigue. #goodstart
Tahiti by bike
2. April 2019 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Took the beach-bike of my host and discovered the island. Went to the black beaches. Was quite a nice 2h ride with strong winds, showers and a glancing sun on the way back. #exploring
At home
2. April 2019 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Just got back to the host cottage. Totally exhausted but happy. Opened my first coconut with a machete. Ate fresh banana-mango-passionfruit-cake for lunch. I just loved it. Now it's time for a nap.Weiterlesen
Crossroads

Just get a vent... That's what they said. Now, I am on a tour crossroads on the back of a 20year old truck driving to nowhere.
Nowhere

Another day goes by
3. April 2019 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Today was the kick-off for setting up the boat. We repaired a water tank and talked about sailing. Do's and don'ts and discovered that sailing is the best sport there is. #motorisforemergenciesWeiterlesen
Racing into the sunset
3. April 2019 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
I just took the tender and went for a ride on my own to see the sunset and came back by complete darkness. However, boat was easy to find and now I have some good grip to work with the starter.
Fully stocked
4. April 2019 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
We went shopping. Next to beer and water we got loads of veggies and fruits. Now the only thing we need to do is to install the wind-pilot and get the boat trimmed.

We are leaving Tahiti now with about 4bft and one reef. Heading north towards Makatea. Waves are higher and longer than expected. Was a bit rainy but felt quite kissed by the sun. We expect a 2 dayWeiterlesen
Makatea calling
6. April 2019 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
We arrived in Makatea after 1,5days of sailing. Looks like a tropical island from a movie set. #tempationisland #69inhabitants #speerfishingfordinner

7. April 2019 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Makatea cave. Water was ice old but sweet. People tell: the cave is bigger than the island itself
