Traveling around Marquesas in French Polynesia Part 2 Nuku Hiva - Ep. 193

French Polynesia consists of archipelagos which are all very different. I will visit three of them. Marquesas, Tuamotus and Society islands.
The Marquesas are mostly steep-to, high volcanic mountains. The Tuamotus are the atolls, het original volcanoes now completely submerged; the society islands are at the phase in between, with high volcanic mountains ringed by shallow lagoons with a fringing reef. De distances between the archipelagos require a shift back into passage mode on board.
The Marquesas are some of the most remote inhabited islands on Earth. Once you have sailed the long passage from Panama, like I did, after 4000 NM I found myself in awe of this beautiful scenery. The high islands are the sentinels as you arrive in French Polynesia. I was impressed by the culture and the warm and generous nature of the people.
In this video I will show you the island Nuku Hiva also my engine fails when at sea.

Hello dear Jacqueline, Dutch fling woman, Thanks for sharing everything and even your emotional part with that bloody engine… What a lovely place. Fair winds

[@sailingloveworkx]

Thanks for your thanks for your kind words!

[@ericsanders6038]

Bedankt

[@garrysecuramot]

How old are you, and what made you take on this challenge at this age, and why do it alone, or is it because your husband needs to support you financially for the trip? I admire your mindset.

[@sailingloveworkx]

Well said. Thanks!

[@lindarool]

Wederom een mooie video en verschillende punten van het eiland gezien. Toen je vertelde over je motor probleem en deze het plots weer deed dacht ik, vast ergens nog wat "lucht" in een slang of zo. En even later zeg je fat er wellicht wat lucht in de filter zat of zo, gelukkig doet de motor het en kun je weer op weg naar de volgende bestemming.

[@sailingloveworkx]

Dank je! Ja dat was niet fijn. Daarna kwam dit probleem gelukkig niet meer terug.

[@josephpotterf9459]

Thanks you probably know now but it is best to do maintenance at a dock for the reasons discovered. Again thanks for sharing a well made video.

[@sailingloveworkx]

Yes that was actually the plan. Thanks!

[@Insanety1955]

Schitterende beelden...dat dat bestaat...👍

[@sailingloveworkx]

Ja zooo prachtig he?

[@olivierorban787]

By the way, I saw that you have 2 solars panels, how many watts ? Is that enough for charging your battery when your are at anchorage ?

[@sailingloveworkx]

I have two 115 watt solar panels. And that is enough. Since I don’t have a fridge.

[@MikeSantis]

What is the white box behind you at 11:13?

[@sailingloveworkx]

Hi Mike. That is a solar light

[@MikeSantis]

@@sailingloveworkx oh ok, thanks.

[@wrbouwman7287]

👍

[@sailingloveworkx]

Thanks!

[@Jolleseileren]

You do have the outboard-engine? And gasoline?

[@sailingloveworkx]

Yes I do.

[@josepmassot4696]

Lo del motor tiene toda la pinta de ser un problema de suministro de combustible. Yo revisaría todos los conductos y filtros de gas oil.

[@sailingloveworkx]

¡Gracias!

[@antoinecabrera8086]

What happen to the engine .. bless you

[@sailingloveworkx]

I still haven’t found out what it was. But it definitely was related to servicing the engine.

[@rainfinger]

Honest video, sailing with main and genoa is how they did it in the old days. You can do it too.

[@sailingloveworkx]

Thanks for your support!

[@julianchan7732]

So happy you get your boat engine fixed! Sometimes things went wrong is normal!Wish you all good ! Have a safe and happy sailing ⛵️ !😊🙏🏻

[@koa818]

What next Captain 😅

[@sailingloveworkx]

I hope it will all be ok. Like John Lennon says: it will all be ok in the end. If it’s not ok, it’s not the end.

[@blanco.norberto-w6n]

My dear Mrs. SKIPPER. Why cry? Why do you allow emotion to win over you? In the lives of men we have been mistakenly taught that problems come and are established and that is FALSE, there are no problems, rather we create them, BUT WHAT DOES EXIST ARE THE DIFFICULTIES, which is not the same. We humans never see things as they ARE, but as we are, therefore there is a simple solution for LIFE and difficulties, IT IS THE ATTITUDE how we face EVERYTHING. THEREFORE, DON'T LET THE CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE YOU, BE THE ONE TO CHANGE THE CIRCUMSTANCES IF YOU HAVE TO LEARN MECHANICS, LEARN, IF YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO FLY, LEARN. SEE IT AS GOD SEES IT, NOT AS OTHERS CAN OR WANT TO SEE IT. EXCELLENT WORK. CUBAN PROVERB: FACING DIFFICULTY, TIGHTEN YOUR ASS AND PULL FORWARD. EVERYTHING GREAT. 💪

[@sailingloveworkx]

Thanks! Well I guess that sailing for a long time makes me more vulnerable. And I don’t want to fight that. It just is. And when I accept what is and keep on breathing it is gone in no-time. When fighting, the energy will be suppressed.
