A Marquesan Night so WILD we Can't Show it All on YouTube: Episode 115

We are thrilled to be able to share this extraordinary experience with you. This episode isn't about sailing, it's about a heartfelt exploration of the Marquesan spirit, thanks to some of the kindest individuals we have ever met. Not only did they open their hearts and homes to us, they allowed us a rare glimpse into the heart of their culture - an experience seldom witnessed by the typical visitors.
In this video, we go on the ultimate French Polynesian adventure, a wild Marquesan hog hunt. KZfaq will not allow us to share our full experience due to their community guidelines however, for those of you interested in the uncensored experience, head over to our Patreon account where you can view the full video:

I just found you guys on You Tube and have binged watched all the episodes from the start of this trip, yes every minute of the sea passages. I'm 64 now and when I was 26yrs old I sailed across the Sth Pacific in my own 38ft sailboat from New Zealand to USA. This has brought back so many wonderful memories of catching mahi mahi, flying fish hitting me in the head, long periods of boredom, sail changes, tiredness, visiting remote islands, gazing at the huge night sky and lots of self reflection. I am about to go full circle and purchase another sail boat after almost 40yrs of not sailing. Whether I will go offshore again I'm not sure however your videos have stirred something that has been buried away for many years. My wife doesn't get it but I think a true sailor understands the call of the sea. Thank you again.

I sailed with a friend although we made it hard on ourselves, 2 days out our self steering broke so we had to take turns on watch at the helm from that point on. In those days there was no such thing as GPS so we navigated with a sextant. Ist stop Tonga, then Samoa, Fanning Island and stopped in Hawaii for 6 weeks then on to San Diego where I ended up living for a couple of years. I am going to write down my memoirs for my grandchildren and the first book will be about this adventure. Your videos are so clear and well edited. I am now going back to the beginning and watching from when you first purchased your boat. Enjoy your one life @SailingOneLife .

You are actually the first to have shown this. That was really cute when the man patted the big pig of his on the side and the pig lay down to get rubbed. Those dogs were trained very well. And at first when I saw the man showing you the woodwork, he did make those clubs. I thought for sure he was going to try to sale you one or something. I was pleasantly surprised no as that was for his personal use. Overall great educational video thanks

Hi Richard! Thank you! This experience was really special. We still can't get over how kind and generous the Marquesans are. If only all of the world treated each other like this! 💙

*Wow it was a beautiful thing seeing such genuine generosity and kindness. I'm curious if you left them a parting gift as well?* I’m a first time viewer of your channel and so grateful seeing this video to witness such kind souls and their wonderful way of life. 💙

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by and checking out our channel. The Marquesans are so generous and kind. This experience will always hold a special place in our hearts. We did gift then a few items, such as a waterproof spotlight, charger and per Tepua's request, chocolate!

So cool, 😎. I'm from Vancouver island and living 20 years in the Dominican republic. I'm moving to the Philippines this coming February. Grow up on a floating house on a lake . I don't have the money to buy a large boat so I live my dreams through people like you. God bless and stay safe. Following ❤❤
