After sailing nearly 9,000 nm over 18 months — from Panama, west across the vast Pacific Ocean — we’ve made landfall in New Zealand. For many cruisers, this is the finish line. But for us… this isn’t the end.

Underwater giants, ancient rituals, and a resilient reef hold more lessons than you can imagine, if only we’re perceptive enough to understand them. It’s all amazing, but what really makes a place special is something we didn’t expect. 

Most people dream of discovering unspoiled paradises, but they never get the chance to see the world beyond the tourist maps. We’re exploring the true heart of Fiji—its people, traditions, and untouched natural beauty by boat.

We are setting sail on the longest voyage we have undertaken as a couple; 1900 miles from Bora Bora to Fiji across a stretch of water known as “The Dangerous Middle” where unpredictable weather conditions and poorly charted reefs are known to challenge the most seasoned sailors.

Did we almost lose our mast is a question that arose after a series of unexpected events. The story begins with the simple decision to buy a new head sail which set off a chain reaction leading to the ultimate explosive question no sailor ever wants to face.

Walking on pink sand beaches, snorkeling beautiful reels, diving with sharks + 1,000’s of grouper suddenly turned into disaster. Watch now to see what happened!

After 33 days at sea sailing across the Pacific Ocean we couldn’t wait to go to shore to check out our new backyard, and take care of logistics like checking in, getting money, provisioning and refueling.

We are scheduled to go through the Panama Canal tomorrow morning, so we’re embarking on our last sail on the Atlantic side of the world for the last time in what may be years. It’s the end of a chapter and the beginning of a grand adventure.
