Leaving Nuku Hiva behind, dolphins escorting us out. We sailed past big squalls, thankfully with no one getting hurt or sick. The passage was smooth, blessed by a beautiful sunrise. Destination: the serene, clear blue waters of the Tuamotus. #Tuamotus #SailingLife #OceanAdventure #IslandHopping #SouthPacific #Sailing #Adventure #Travel Check out our latest video here: https://youtu.be/6i5VvRy799U In this episode of Sailing AWEN, we leave Marquesas and sail to the Tuamotus Archipelago. We make an adventure out of rainy days, learn how to float our chain, enjoy learning about bommies, and discover the most healthy, big and beautiful coral reef we have ever seen! While sailing full-time and living aboard our catamaran, we continue to learn what AWEN and her sails like and the pacific passage offers many opportunities improve. We’re sailing full-time aboard AWEN, our Outremer 52 performance catamaran, continuing our bluewater sailing journey. From offshore passages and ocean sailing to the quieter, human moments that make life afloat so meaningful, we share the real highs, challenges, and surprises of liveaboard catamaran life.

It was two years ago in May. I was teaching an instructional passage, and we were in Bermuda waiting for weather to allow us to continue north to Newport. Of course, we knew that the America’s Cup was happening. Still, the absolute mind-boggling spectacle of seeing those boats…..doing that! As we entered the outer bay near Hamilton, there, right in front of us, was Oracle, sitting in the water, getting coached up by her chase boats. Now not more than 40-50 yards away, the crew trimmed in the wing sail. The boat lurched a little, started moving….then bam! Like the Starship Enterprise in the Star Trek movies, it popped up, onto its’ foils, and was off at nearly 40 knots. Warp speed Scotty!
