A RARE Yacht Encounter At Sea - Sailing L'Attitude - Ep 39

Fatu Hiva: The golden anchorage of the Marquesas! The crowd of yachts arriving from their pacific crossing, is surrounded by steep, intimidating pillars covered in foliage and mountain goats! The valley cuts deep into the mountainside of the island and is covered with an abundance of pamplemousse, mangoes, limes, squeeling piglets and barking doggies. Absolute heaven! We share a fabulous dinner at a locals house with other yachts in the bay, before setting off first thing the next morning for the Tuatomotus. On the way, we have a immensely rare ancounter where we not only come across another yacht at sea (fairly uncommon…) but it happens to be our great friends Ross & Jo Blackman off Soujourn II. We manage to swap some delicious apple bran muffins for some Wahoo that we still have going from when we departed Tahuata last episode. We also take some mint shots of this ocean encounter as not often do you manage to get shots of both of you standing on the side of your yacht in the middle of the ocean while it is sailing.. Such a cool experience for both boats. The wind changes as a storm starts to pass through and we get westerlies blowing us the wrong way, so we opt to change course and follow Soujourn II into the atoll of Raroia. We drop anchor here and get ready to wade out the weather system until it changes back to the handy trades that can help us sail further east.
