Really interesting look at cruising in French Polynesia, very inspirational thanks guys! Can't wait for the next episode. What is Thula up to now? Are you staying in the Caribbean for a season?

[@ThulaSailing]

Thanks. No, we are heading back to Europe the next days. So another ocean crossing & adventures ahead! :)

Eure Videos sind immer wieder toll. Ihr habt vor Quasti retour zu Segeln über den Pazifik? Nehme an wegen Corona und rs in Richtung W nicht möglich ist. Es steht euch da ja ein schweter langer Weg bevor. Viel Glück mogen Euch Wind und Wellen hold sein und ihr keine zu schwere Passage vor euch haben. Viel 🍀

[@ThulaSailing]

Vielen Dank! Wir sind mittlerweile schon auf den Bahamas, hatten einen recht herausfordernden Törn über den Pazifik wie ihr noch sehen werdet. ;) Eine weitere Langfahrtstrecke haben wir jetzt vor uns zurück nach Europa mit dem rauhen Atlantik, der hoffentlich nicht zu sehr wütet.

Do Dolphins respond or react to music heard through your hull? Love your videos!

[@ThulaSailing]

Not that we have noticed, rather of the splashes if the hull in the waves 🙂

Thanks for another great Video. I have a question about Provisioning in FP... How easy is it to find Butter on the smaller Atolls and Islands? I know it sounds strange, but I eat LOTS of Butter....I can buy Canned Butter (Dösen butter) here in Germany, but it's a French product (Francelia Beurre demi-sel) so I don't know if it would be available in FP or not. It's rather expensive here (about €4.50 for a 250g can). I could probably drive the 40km to Sarreguemines and get it a little cheaper but then I still have to put it in a Crate and Ship it to the US... Naturally, if Butter is readily available (Canned or Refrigrated) in FP then I could get by with fewer Cans... Thanks, Looking foreward to the next episode.Stay safe and Fair Winds.

Generally you'll need to stock up on lots of butter in Panama, especially on the little atolls you must be quite lucky to find some as they only have very little refrigerated products. We did find some canned butter from NZ though, also bigger cans. So that might work and you are also able to afford it. Back in Tahiti it's no problem with all the special butter types ;)

I stopped watching vlogs when they are so far behind in time. It's 90 degree where I am right now and Christmas is not on my mind right now. Why are you so behind?

[@ThulaSailing]

Because we have sailed thousands of miles in the past year not having any internet connection on the ocean nor on land in many parts ;)
