Farewell Fakarava; Epic Voyage to Tahiti - Our Fastest Sail Ever! | Episode 255
Рет қаралды 27,868
2 ай бұрынWelcome back to our sailing circumnavigation story! This week finds us still at the South Pass of Fakarava, one of our favorite atoll islands in the Tuamotus, and one of the best scuba diving spots in the world. Unfortunately we witness first hand the devastating effects of climate change, and decide to take our last days here alternatively for activities that don't bring tears to our eyes, and spend a whole day at Pink Sands Beach with fellow sailors Brian & Kazza on SV Delos. After that very enjoyable beach day we say goodbye to Fakarava and set sail for Tahiti, which in the past has typically taken us two days to complete, however some very strong winds combined with a faster boat now because of our clean bottom and folding props, we see out fastest speeds ever! We end up averaging 7 knots speed the whole way and drop anchor in the dark, luckily we know the area and the anchorage very well so there is no issues, and we get the wake up the next day nestled in the beauty and protection of Moorea's beautiful mountains.
Thanks for watching the Adventures of WE!

You two work so hard!! Truly it takes time, logistics, creativity and sacrifice to produce, package, and release your story every week. Thank you for all that! Seeing clips of the diving last week was hard but at the same time I was reminded of my mother taking me on my first open ocean drift dive on the jetty off the coast of Panama City Beach, I was twelve years old, I had the sensation of flying just above the rocks for what seemed like a mile. Safe travels you two and Thanks!!

Hi WEsail, I was hoping to go back and watch your beginnings again, but I cant seem to find it i think the earliest i found was part 1 episode 26. its been a few years sorry i was busy with my engineering degree but I finished that so while im looking for a job i will binge watch WEsail 😉

The only thing that could have made that passage better, would have been catching a big enough fish to feed you both at least 2 good meals, lol. Glad to see Delos' time table worked that you were still cruising together, I know Delos 2.0 and Australia are calling them and it won't be long before they fly off. You guys just work so well together, it's a nice fit!

The shot of you Erica at 15:40 thru 16:26 is one of the few that really does show the sea state although 18:40+ are pretty good also. Normally the camera does not do it justice. Please keep the fixed camera foreground/background shot in mind next time you are in big swells. Great shot! So sad to see you leaving PARADISE. Could an American retiree move there?

My stomach sank and my heart dropped to see bleaching in the South Pass and then of course my mind reeled thinking of the trickle effect in ecology impacts all the way to those lovely sharks and spawning grouper. We made it to Raroia and Makemo with eager anticipation to sail back for a visit to Fakarava....great episode as always you keep me going until I can liveaboard full time. Thanks for what you do!

Holy habatchi, guys! My face hurts from smiling so much. What an amazing farewell to all the beautiful islands, and a final anchorage in the ever-gorgeous Moorea. I’m SO going to miss this place. I could write a friggin’ novel here… but a comment is a comment to the almighty algorithm so… I’ll keep it short(ish). It’s such a treat to have seen your friendship with Kaz, Brian, and the Nugget grow these last few weeks (months?). You two work together like a finely tuned (well oiled?) machine and it’s such a pleasure to see your respect for each others strengths, and willingness to help pull through your weaknesses. On camera, anyway😉. Another awesome episode. Ok… I’ll shut up. ❤

Yes this is true, we could get residency but for now the issue is importing the boat into the country. It’s pretty expensive for us and our newer boat so for now we will continue to see the rest of the world and then come back to this beautiful place!

Put money on you feeling better going with the wind and the waves then against. I live in Scotland you go out nice sunny day 15 knots on the beam. Go out 20 miles North Sea bit of fishing turn round to go back wind changes. What was a great day ends up beating into 30 nasty. That or next stop Norway.

Interesting question, as they continue west, they'll eventually cross the international date line and lose a day... the line is just before they'd reach New Zeeland. I'm not sure how long before they'll get that far, it's still probably 1200 or more miles away and a lot of small islands to visit on the way.
