Record Speed Sail to Tahiti & A Scramble to Prepare the Boat for Guests ~ Vlog #62

Music & Info in this section:

Waaaaaaahhhhooooooo! Amazing what a fresh lick of bottom paint can do. Avalon is feeling pretty and races to Tahiti to mingle with the other boats with her fresh new look. So strange to be at a busy anchorage again - this is the central hub for yachts in French Polynesia as its remarkably well resourced.

We take advantage of being near chandleries and supplies to finish off a few boat jobs before our guests arrive. Then a bombshell is dropped that they’re arriving 24 hours earlier than previously thought! So the scramble begins.

Meet Ben and Joyce. Well you’ve met Ben before in the episode where we had a drunken passage to Ibiza and rolled into de club straight after anchoring. Joyce is his beautiful girlfriend he’s brought along with him this time so he might be a bit more well behaved on this trip.

One set back though - they’re here for a Kiteboarding holiday with no kites. Shame on Air New Zealand for losing their bags. Naaah well, time to explore inland on this paradise island. We got chatting to the locals and were given instructions on how to find an obscure hike with 9 waterfalls.

Thanks for watching guys. If you liked it, please give us a thumbs up and leave a lovely comment. We post every Sunday! So if you’d like to see us every week, why not subscribe.

Oceans of love,
