Today … my journey home begins🥰

Cleaning, organizing and tossing odds and ends, and I’m packed and Tony will take me to the airport by boat! My journey home begins!

Last night, I had the pleasure of getting to know SV Ora and its owner Pascal from New Caledonia! Ora is a catamaran, bought in Martinique in the Caribbean. We shared some French Polynesian Rum and exchanged life stories. His story is similar to mine! Different countries, different people, different years, but similar journeys, past, present and future plans! This is what sailing is all about: meeting interesting people in beautiful places!

Today, I’m packed for 6-7 months of traveling; hiking boots, backcountry ski boots and flipflops!

First stop is Rangiroa for one night!

Quick flight to ….

Well signed little town!

Since I was starving I decided to return to the airport as I saw that they had a snack bar and all the other restaurants in town didn’t open until 18.00 and check in was still hours away!

As soon as I sat down, one of the employees came over to enquire about my flight. I said “oh it’s not until tomorrow and I just needed something to eat!”. He said “do you want to go to Tahiti today? Heck yeah! When does it leave?”… “in 45 min”… so now I’m in a pretty nice resort in Papeete with swim up bar, infinity pool and a bottle of wine!!! Nothing Not Nice was not available. Touché!

Best part…

The things I missed.. a bathtub with fresh water!
