DON'T LIVE ON A BOAT Unless You Can Handle This | Ep. 106

#frenchpolynesia #boatlife #boatwork

It’s no secret boats require constant maintenance and repairs, but there is one area we dread working on and in this episode it rears its ugly head. Before we realize the issue we stretch our legs a bit at a nearby hiking trail, say goodbye to Joan and Fernando and take a road trip to experience the incredible island of Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia.

If you're new here, Harbors Unknown is the story of two dreamers, Kristin & Fabio Potenti, & our dog Yoda. We're a small family living aboard our catamaran, SV Wanderlust, sailing to Harbors Unknown. Exploring the world, connecting with people and places through the local cuisine, and showing how great food can be cooked on a boat with limited space and resources. Seeking to balance the desire to explore and travel to beautiful, remote locations while leaving no footprint, minimizing the Hawthorne effect of the observers who change the environment she or he observes.

We hope to inspire people and showcase the possibility of living an alternative lifestyle that provides freedom and fulfillment, all while keeping it real. Sharing the trials and tribulations of living off-grid, acknowledging the discomfort of detoxing from the modern world, finding pleasure in the subtleties of nature and joy in simplicity. Attempting to understand what makes the world tick and tock but also trying to gain a deeper comprehension of ourselves and identify what will satisfy that hunger for further exploration, for purpose. We have set off on our voyage sailing around the world! Subscribe now to join our sailing adventure.
