What this video covers
Huub recently completed maintenance on his boat in Raiatea, French Polynesia, including replacing saildrive seals, installing a new through-hull fitting, and applying fresh antifouling paint. He is now exploring the lagoon shared by the islands of Raiatea and Tahaa with a guest, MP from the boat Yaba. The pair visited a three-masted Danish wreck dive site near abandoned resorts in Raiatea, where Huub successfully navigated the interior air pockets. Huub also acquired a used electric foil board, which he repaired by performing a software update to resolve an electrical fault. Due to an incoming weather system forecast to bring 30-knot winds and 4-meter seas, the crew relocated to the protected bay of Ha'amene in Tahaa. The trip included snorkeling with blacktip sharks near a motu. Huub plans to visit a manta ray cleaning station in Tahaa next. Breathing trapped air inside a wreck is dangerous and should be avoided.
