In this episode, we truly enjoy the beauty of Fakarava. Getting close encounters with lots of sharks and even finding time to just relax at one of the luxury resorts here. Fakarava is definitely among the more touristic atolls here in the South Pacific. But we love it! So beautiful and so crisp clear water. Even some nice beaches as well, something that has been surprisingly hard to find in French Polynesia. We also met a local couple that put all their money and time into building a new church on the motu we visited. Still, experience the hospitality of the friendly Polynesians. This is truly a paradise.

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
Sailing around the world in a Bavaria 55 Cruiser, making videos whenever we have time for it. I used to sail singlehanded and occasionally have sailing friends onboard. But now the permanent crew aboard BE FREE is including Gee from Holland. We are now exploring the Pacific Ocean.
Even though this is season 5 on KZfaq I did not make that many videos in the beginning. Before full-time sailing, I sailed several seasons in the Mediterranean prior to this, and obviously also in Scandinavia. I have been traveling the world before and have also been an active regatta sailor. I had my first sailboat at age 7 and have been sailing ever since. Also, more than 10 years of experience in Search and Rescue at sea in Norway.

I'm just a normal person sharing my travel adventure through my eyes and experience from my perspective! Remember how I do things that might work for me but not for you. It might even not be the correct way to do things, and I don't have the blueprint either. I'm not perfect and nobody is. The day I believe I know it all and don't think I can learn new things I should go ashore.
