From Storms to Serenity | Our Final Adventure in New Caledonia
Join us as we sail into one of the wildest and most beautiful corners of New Caledonia—Anse Majic and the dramatic Cap N’Dua lighthouse. This adventure includes everything we love about life at sea: close encounters with dolphins, remote anchorages, and jaw-dropping scenery. After sheltering from a powerful electrical storm up the Prony River, we set off to explore the southern tip of Grande Terre. The landscape here is raw and unfiltered—contrasting red soil, lush green forest, and turquoise waters. Hiking up to the Cap N’Dua lighthouse gave us panoramic views and a chance to reflect as our time in New Caledonia draws to a close. To top it off, we were joined by a pod of dolphins riding Te Tāiko’s bow wave—the most we’ve ever seen in one place! 🌏 Whether you’re into sailing, van life, slow travel, or exploring remote places, we invite you to come along. 🎥 Don’t forget to subscribe, give it a thumbs up, and leave a comment—we’d love to hear from you! 💙 A huge thanks to our Patreon crew for helping us keep these adventures going. #sailingadventure #newcaledonia #offgridliving #travelcouple #remotetravel #sailboatlife #dolphins #capndua #oceanlife #adventuretravel We hope you enjoy it!

After years of being career focused, we decided it was time to shake things up and sought a lifestyle that would provide us with new experiences, humble us, allow us to visit remote locations, and experience new cultures. In 2021, we traded our regular suburban lifestyle for a nomadic one and moved aboard our sailboat, Te Tāiko, a Chico 40. After three years sailing in New Zealand and preparing for Category 1 (regulations for New Zealand registered vessels planning to sail offshore), we set sail from New Zealand to Fiji on the 23 May 2024. This would be Vicki and Tāiko's first ocean passage and Adam's third. We have since sailed to Vanuatu and New Caledonia, where we will be during the cyclone season. We fund our lifestyle by working part time. This sometimes involves returning to New Zealand to help top up the bank account. The other avenue is through our content creation where we document our journey though YouTube videos and our our social media accounts and website. We would love for you to follow our progress as we navigate a nomadic lifestyle. If our content is something that you enjoy, please consider supporting our channel.
