O que este vídeo aborda
A 40-mile beam-reach sail from an unnamed anchorage to Fakarava, French Polynesia, in 15 knots of wind opens the passage, followed by a 20-mile intra-atoll leg to the South Pass area at the far end of Fakarava.0:19 Lauren sails solo with her dog Mako, anchoring in shallow water among sandbars reminiscent of the Bahamas, with no pearl floats nearby.8:09 A manta ray appears during a swim stop; she leaves the GoPro behind and misses the shot.8:29 At the South Pass end she meets up with Stella Horizons and a local from Faheet for a spearfishing outing, with plans to dive the pass — a pass she has not dived before — and cook a group dinner aboard if the catch is good.8:52 Squalls require a brief wait before departure on the second leg.8:58 The atoll's interior offers protected sailing in 12 knots with calm, clear water.4:59 Two spots remain on a September humpback whale swim trip in Moorea, French Polynesia, open to the public via email in the description.1:56
