Traveling around Marquesas in French Polynesia Part 2 Nuku Hiva - Ep. 193

French Polynesia consists of archipelagos which are all very different. I will visit three of them. Marquesas, Tuamotus and Society islands. In this video I have engine problems after doing maintenance. I try to find help from other sailors. The Marquesas are mostly steep-to, high volcanic mountains. The Tuamotus are the atolls, het original volcanoes now completely submerged; the society islands are at the phase in between, with high volcanic mountains ringed by shallow lagoons with a fringing reef. De distances between the archipelagos require a shift back into passage mode on board. The Marquesas are some of the most remote inhabited islands on Earth. Once you have sailed the long passage from Panama, like I did, after 4000 NM I found myself in awe of this beautiful scenery. The high islands are the sentinels as you arrive in French Polynesia. I was impressed by the culture and the warm and generous nature of the people. In this video I will show you the island Nuku Hiva also my engine fails when at sea.
