Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew of the sailboat Nahoa spends 180 days cruising the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia, balancing remote atoll exploration with proximity to civilization. They prioritize anchoring over using mooring balls in the Tuamotus, citing the need to inspect ground tackle personally in late-day light. During periods of 25-to-30-knot winds, the crew utilizes an 8-meter Ocean Rodeo kite for water sports and tows children on an Easy Ski trainer and a discus.4:42 Fishing while underway is managed using a specialized hand line, which allows the crew to keep the spinnaker flying while targeting billfish.2:27 When transitioning between atolls, the crew monitors weather windows to avoid heavy conditions, often opting for motor-sailing in light winds to reach destinations like Tahiti and Moorea.16:24 Daily life includes beachcombing, snorkeling, and managing boat maintenance while living aboard with two children.11:08 The crew emphasizes that choosing to anchor rather than moor provides greater security during intense, unpredictable squalls common to the region.7:34
