Rainy morning
2 aprile 2019, Polinesia francese ⋅ ⛅ 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 aprile 2019, Polinesia francese ⋅ ⛅ 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

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.Leggi altro

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 aprile 2019, Polinesia francese ⋅ ⛅ 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. #motorisforemergenciesLeggi altro
Racing into the sunset
3 aprile 2019, Polinesia francese ⋅ ⛅ 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 aprile 2019, Polinesia francese ⋅ ⛅ 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 dayLeggi altro
Makatea calling
6 aprile 2019, Polinesia francese ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
We arrived in Makatea after 1,5days of sailing. Looks like a tropical island from a movie set. #tempationisland #69inhabitants #speerfishingfordinner

2nd stop
7 aprile 2019, Polinesia francese ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Climbing. A local guide climbed with us. After phosphate business went away 50years ago, climbing is a new chance to get tourists to Makatea and establish workplaces.
3nd stop
7 aprile 2019, Polinesia francese ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Makatea cave. Water was ice old but sweet. People tell: the cave is bigger than the island itself

We're back at the old harbour and had an extraordinary BBQ with chicken, fish, rice and self made Palm tree assecoires.

Setting up the traps
8 aprile 2019, Polinesia francese ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Just Google coconut crabs. What's rare in the rest of the world is normal for Makatea and a huge business. We went out with a local to set some traps which we gonna check in the late evening.Leggi altro

We had two of the crabs Tamatoa, Tamara, Thoma und Ruben caught on Makatea. Was nice but for me: a bit overrated.

We went shopping. Bought some carrots, apples and garlic for our next dinner. Plus went for a refill of sweet water.

An atoll consists of motus. We landed today close to one and had a nice time snorkeling. And guess what's up for dinner today? Yes.
