Underwater giants, ancient rituals, and a resilient reef hold more lessons than you can imagine, if only we’re perceptive enough to understand them. It’s all amazing, but what really makes a place special is something we didn’t expect. 

Our time in French Polynesia is coming to an end and we are trying to make the most of our remaining days in Bora Bora while navigating bureaucracy and preparing Wanderlust for a 1900 mile passage.

We’re in the final stretch of sailing with our flailing steering system. Just 250 miles stand between us and our much awaited steering refit, but we’re unwilling to face a Maramu hurling 14-foot waves on our rudders.

Walking on pink sand beaches, snorkeling beautiful reels, diving with sharks + 1,000’s of grouper suddenly turned into disaster. Watch now to see what happened!

Diving in remote, cold, shark infested waters with extreme currents. Why would we do such a thing?
