We return to Tahiti to take possession of our new boat, the Nautitech 40 Open,, struggle with over weight airline baggage, risk of high penalty charges and then the strict French Ploynesian customs while we carry our boat medications including injectables, a new speargun and a surprisingly large amount of alcohol... We get through those hurdles and the next morning go for a test sail to see how the Nautitech 40 operates, go shopping for seemingly endless supplies of Eli's desire and on day 2, GET THE KEYS TO THE BOAT! While we are able to move aboard, because of bank holidays, the bureaucracy is not done and we are left with having the paid the money a week ago but not able to leave harbour as the paperwork is not yesterday "legal"!!! Will we get it before our planned departure in 24 hours - or are we going to be trapped again! It takes us back to the 3 week delay leaving Tahiti last year on the Leopard 45 with similar "paperwork" blocks. We just hope we don't get the 3 week delay again.... Lots of other exciting stuff this week too with pearly shopping and lots of detail about what we bought for the sailing.... Next episode: "How we turn Lou Lou into our home with our own personal stamp!" This is just the beginning… South Pacific sailing is about to start —and later this year… The Portofino 52. 👇 Comment below with your advice especially if you always have some weird things you want to have with you on your travels!👇
