After 4 amazing days, a prestine anchor with undisturbed coral reef, few boats, calm and unbelievably clear water, beach to myself and loads of coconut trees, I’m planning the next passage.
At the moment I’m unsure where I’ll leave the boat while I fly to Europe, as marinas here in French Polynesia are full. And they do not take reservations rather they want you to be on location. I’ve sent emails to most of them and all except for one in Apataki Atoll do not have space in their yard. I’m waiting for their response. If they confirm then Sarantium will remain the the Tuamotu Archipelago until cyclone season is over in April. And from there I’ll make my way to New Zealand or Australia via the Society Islands, Cook Islands and Fiji in 2026. If I can’t find a Marina or yard to store my boat this year, I will continue towards NZ or Aus, and hope for storage along the way! Who knows, we may find ourselves in NZ or AUS this October!!! ….plans forever changing, whatever happens happens!!!
