#138e_Tahiti-Cooks Inseln-Tonga-Fiji | SV MariaNoa | english version

Our next big sailing leg takes us from Tahiti to Fiji. Here we expect visitors and from here we want to start our annual visit to Germany this year. The sailing leg from Tahiti to Fiji is about 3,500 km or 1,900 nautical miles. So directly 16 sailing days and nights. The route leads via Aitutaki, Cook Islands and Tonga. We very much hope that we will not have to complete the entire route in one piece, but that we will be able to divide it into pleasant individual stages with as many stops as possible. ? keywords ???????????? #Tonga #Vavau #Lagoone #Vulkaninsel #Aitutaki #Saumriff #Morea#Raiatera #Bora-Bora #cooksinseln #Aitutarena #gesellschaftsinseln #ilesdesociete #societyislands #borabora #bora-Bora #tahiti #maupiti #maupihaa #raiatea #pearls #Gambier #iledegambier #gambierinseln #gambierislands #perlen #perls #korallen #hartkorallen #weichkorallen #fächerkorallen #geweihkorallen #tischkorallen #corals #FranzösischPolynesien #Gesellschaftsinseln #Atoll #Südseeatoll #Guestimator #Slacktime #Tuamotus #IslesTuamotu #MarquesasIslands #ilesmarquises #archipeldestuamotu #FrenchPolynesia #französischpolynesien #pazifik #pacific #doldrums #langfahrt #barefootroute #Barfussroute #blauwasser #blog #bluehorizon #boatlife #boat #boot #bootfahren #bootsprofis #cruising #expedition #fahrtensegeln #freunde #Glück #Hurrikan #huricane #hurricaneseason #hurrikan #karibik #katamaran #lavagabonde #lagoon40 #langfahrt #langfahrtsegeln #marianoa #ozeansegeln #plan #planinternational #roundtheworld #circumnavigation #reiseblog #reisen #sailing #schiff #schnorcheln #segelabenteuer #segelboot #segeln #segelnüberdenatlantik #segelyacht #segler #sommer, #sonnenuntergang #strand #summer #sunset #tobago #traum #travel #umdieweltsegeln #unterwegs #vlog #vlogger #weltreise #weltumsegelung ? About this film ???????????? First, comparatively short stages lead us through the Society Islands, which belong to French Polynesia. We will visit Morea, Raiatera and Bora-Bora. The weather is historically bad, so we don't do justice to these wonderful islands. A much longer stroke leads us to Aitutaki, 485 nM away, which is one of the Cook Islands scattered far in the Pacific. The inhabitants of Aitutaki have therefore dug an artificial access through the coral reef, which leads to a port under construction. We have ideal conditions, the sun is shining and the sea is smooth. Nevertheless, the entrance is difficult to identify and can only be recognized because of the concentrated counter-current. The passage is narrow and the lateral boundaries are difficult to make out, even in these ideal conditions. Aitutaki is a typical volcanic island surrounded by a fringing reef. A special feature here is that the lagoon, which is located between the reef and the island, cannot be reached by a natural passage. The Cook Island Christian Church is located very close to the port of Artanga. Do you have any specific questions? We will be happy to answer them on MariaNoa@gmx.de. ? Through this channel ???????????? We are Brigitta and Hannes. We sail around the world together. For this purpose, we bought a catamaran, with which we started the barefoot route from the French Atlantic coast at the beginning of March 2021. For many years, a circumnavigation of the world had been my (Hannes) big dream, which I wanted to realize for professional reasons at retirement age. Sometimes, however, life turns out differently than you plan. In the spring of 2020, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Suddenly, my life accelerated considerably, I sold my house, liquidated the household goods and began to buy mountains of marine equipment. "Cast off!" was planned for the beginning of March 2021 - and so it happened, despite Corona. Brigitta was of course completely surprised at first, although a circumnavigation of the world fit much better into her professional life as an early retiree than into mine. In the last 6 months, however, she has made an amazing development and is looking forward to our great adventure just like me. Plan International is an international children's charity. On our trip, we don't just want to chill in dream bays, but also visit program countries of Plan and document the work there.
