Sailing in French Polynesia; Why We Don't Want to Leave Atoll | Episode 178

We've been sailing in the islands of French Polynesia for almost 2 months and there are so many reasons why we just don't want to leave atoll! See what I did there?
We sail in the lagoon of our final Tuamotu before we head off to Tahiti and continue our adventures around the beautiful archipelagos. Our last stop brings us to a secret spot, with no one around we have found Eden all to ourselves.
Join us on our sailing adventures throughout the Pacific Ocean!

Under a blanket of snow. Miss your sunshine..looked all morning for your video Wednesday Nov16

[@MrFroglips69]

Groovy, beautiful, lovely.....that's all.

[@barryandrews4316]

thats the most impressive raising of any anchor ive seen in a long time...what a way to start any adventure..now thats living...

[@Ninja_Sloth]

Guys you just gave me the visual of the South Pacific, in HD, that Delos could not so many years ago. My eyes were popping from my head, mouth open, and I was giggling like a child. The endless variations of blue water, the clarity of the water, the sea critters great and small. The footage you captured going down the break in the Atoll was breathtaking and matched everything my mind has dreamt up for the last 12 years. Thank you both for sharing and just so you know, even though you might think the footage may be boring, or you have seen it for a few months now, it whisks us all away if only for ~20min a week. Cheers and more snorkeling footage please...it's snowing in Chicago already

[@WEsail]

Haha AWESOME, great comment!! It’s ones like this that we cherish, and they truly help keep us motivated when we lack it, so thank YOU!! We really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!!

[@peterasacker5948]

did you notice the color difference between the two cams when you both jumped in...lol...great video...jealous

[@WEsail]

Yes I did, one is a GoPro and the other is a DJI Osmo. Tried to get them color graded to match but both have two very different qualities. Still trying to decide what brand we like best!

[@jimtackett9403]

Wonderful new sail!!!

[@micheldawes1]

Hi guys! Have just stumbled across your channel and I have liked, subscribed and rung the bell! I have one question so far. @1:30; you are picked up a very, VERY large snap-shackle, one of which I have not seen the kind of ever before. Could you please chat more about this shackle and post a link in the description in a future episode (If you haven’t already done so in a previous episode. If you have, could you please post a link to this episode?) Many thanks and fair winds and following seas for all your future episodes. Kindest regards, Mr Michel Dawes

[@WEsail]

Ahh yes, it’s our anchoring shackle, it’s made by Mantus (like the anchor company that’s so well known) and it’s for catching mooring buoy lines, I modified it a little so it hooks on our chain… anyways, glad you found us, and thanks very much for taking the time to watch and comment!! CHEERS

[@peterbowler4521]

There’s some spectacular scenery in this video 👏👏👏 What camera do you use for the front of the board?? And for general filming Again, sensational job.

[@upisgr8]

Biggs here I’m going to Grand Lake, this week and second have of December. Anything I can do for you at home.

[@WEsail]

Hey hey!! Brrrrr, just stay warm!!! Going sledding or what!?

[@donkinzer5718]

Your new sail looks like an asym but I see that you have it rigged with just one sheet. When you need to gybe it do you douse it and then re-deploy it on the other side of the forestay?

[@alexandreperret-gentil6237]

Have you been in other french Polynesian islands like tahiti,moorea ect…

[@amccann99]

Do you think having a Cat vs. Monohull is a big advantage there because of the shallower draft? Would you still go there if you had a Monohull?

[@user-hv5gv6xz6h]

Такого носового матроса счастье иметь на яхте !! 👌✨🍒

[@DCGULL01]

Love it! (Comment for UTube algorithm.)

[@WEsail]

Well thank you!! It’s nice to hear from you and the comment always helps :)

[@robertcarlclayton7724]

Here in the Oklahoma atolls we call those yellow meated watermelon

[@WEsail]

Whatever they are, they’re delicious

[@sprowles9119]

In a wide-open place like that, why would someone anchor within a hundred meters of you when they could be far, far away and respect your privacy? To me, that's one of the joys of cruising - getting away from neighbors right up next to you. An area of several square kilometers has two boats in it and they're within hailing distance. Boo.

[@RVmotoTravel]

I'd love to come sail with you guys for a month, or even just a week.. Is there any way that it's possible if I'd pay my way?

[@WEsail]

Ya you never know Chad, we do love having like minded people aboard! We will be in French Polynesia for about a year and then moving on to New Zealand about this time next year so maybe we could use crew for that passage…
