Rainy morning

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

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. Czytaj więcej
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

We just arived and i have to confess every sunset is kicking me. Will probably never forget those moments.
Another day goes by

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. #motorisforemergencies Czytaj więcej
Racing into the sunset

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

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.
Anchors aweigh

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 day Czytaj więcej
Makatea calling

We arrived in Makatea after 1,5days of sailing. Looks like a tropical island from a movie set. #tempationisland #69inhabitants #speerfishingfordinner
Today's menu

Fresh fish, pasta and some advocado-tomato-salad. Served with Swiss wine, cheese and French sausages... Life couldn't be better.
Makatea belvedere

Went out for a daytrip with locals. Frist stop Makatea belvedere.
2nd stop

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

Makatea cave. Water was ice old but sweet. People tell: the cave is bigger than the island itself
BBQ and sunset party

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

We relaxed some hours on the beach and enjoyed the waves, fresh coconuts and grilled fish on a self-made BBQ. #fishoverdose #lifeisgood
Setting up the traps

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. Czytaj więcej
Makatea crab hunt

Setting sail 2.0

We're leaving Makatea and are heading east north-east for 24 to 30hours cruise. Wind is about 15 to 18knots and all is set for our next destination. #nightsifts #missingmygf #missingmyfam Czytaj więcej
Nightshift #3

We crossed several atolls already, heading towards apitiki. Winds changed and we had to do multiple turns to get to our destination.
The pleasure of motoring

Wind is almost gone. 3h motoring to come. #sailssupported #limehoneywatersafeslifes #iwouldmurderforaschnitzel
Land in sight

We are arriving Apatiki after 40h of sailing/motoring. #exhausted #blessedwithsuchaview #happythursdayeveryoneathome
Coconut crabs for dinner

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

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

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. Fish and coconut crabs. #seenmyfirstsharks #notdangerousatall
