Our beautiful girl "Meraki" is for sale in Fiji. She is a well cared for classic cutter rig designed by Stan Huntingford. Said to be Stan's favourite boat he ever designed and we would agree. The C&L Explorer 45 is an excellent livable layout for a family, she's comfortable and easy to sail and has beautiful lines. Meraki is a current liveaboard, well taken care of and ready to continue her adventures around the globe. https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/1977-c-$-l-explorer-45-9467994/

?? THIS WEEK ?? Some of the most magical stops are those that are unplanned. We had hoped to stop in Suwarrow but it didn't look like it was going to be in the cards for us, until? A quick 4 days in the magical Cook Islands but we wouldn't have traded it for anything. ?? SUPPORT OUR VIDEOS ?? ? Free ways to SUPPORT: Subscribe, Like, Comment and Share our Videos ?

?? THIS WEEK ?? With mixed emotions we make landfall in Marquesas, French Polynesia! The excitement of seeing land after 26 days is unimaginable and hard to explain but a thread of sadness runs through the crew as this amazing experience comes to an end. ONE day after arriving we finally connect with some very special people ?? SUPPORT OUR VIDEOS ?? ? Free ways to SUPPORT: Subscribe, Like, Comment and Share our Videos ?

?? THIS WEEK ?? Pacific Crossing Part 4 Crossing the equator is a grand event for any sailor. In the Navy it is often marked with much shenanigans mostly aimed at the "Pollywogs" (those that have never crossed an equator before) and christening them into "Shellbacks". We are so excited for our first equator crossing to officially become Shellbacks and maybe even meet King Neptune himself? Truly a day we will never forget! ?? SUPPORT OUR VIDEOS ?? ?
