The ULTIMATE SAILING CHALLENGE - SEAWIND 1600 vs the TRADE WINDS We’re facing the final challenge of our voyage: a 500 nm sail upwind against the trade winds to the Marquesas, our sanctuary from cyclone season. With the wind on our nose, we embarked on a journey that tested our resolve, our sails, and our spirit. Endless sail changes, navigating through squalls and storms, then becalmed in a glassy ocean. It’s only through struggle comes triumph and Neptune rewarded us ten fold, only to humble us once again after a rookie mistake! Join us for the final rollercoaster ride to one of the most beautiful anchorages in the world. #sailinglife #catamaransailing #frenchpolynesia Have you seen the 5 Pacific Passage videos?

We're a small family living aboard our catamaran, SV Wanderlust, sailing to Harbors Unknown. Exploring the world, connecting with people and places through the local cuisine, and showing how great food can be cooked on a boat with limited space and resources. Seeking to balance the desire to explore and travel to beautiful, remote locations while leaving no footprint, minimizing the Hawthorne effect of the observers who change the environment she or he observes. We hope to inspire people and showcase the possibility of living an alternative lifestyle that provides freedom and fulfillment, all while keeping it real. Sharing the trials and tribulations of living off-grid, acknowledging the discomfort of detoxing from the modern world, finding pleasure in the subtleties of nature and joy in simplicity. Attempting to understand what makes the world tick and tock but also trying to gain a deeper comprehension of ourselves and identify what will satisfy that hunger for further exploration, for purpose. We have set off on our voyage sailing around the world! Subscribe now to join our sailing adventure. Have you watched our videos in Panama?
