We're getting KICKED OUT of the country! | Ep 99 | Sailing Merewether

This week we sail to the capital of French Polynesia, Papeete, to do some boat maintenance but also to determine if we are allowed to stay in the country. I (Isabelle) being Swedish and a Europeaner, I can stay in for two years. But Kieran, although has a British passport (but that does not count for much outside UK since Brexit) can only stay in FP for three months. We are trying everything. We really want to stay here for hurricane/cyclone season. Our friends are here and we really want to explore more of this incredible country... We also get hit with 30 knots wind in the anchorage of Papeete. We praise our new anchor, shout out to Rocna. It's amazing to truly be able to trust your anchor and know we will not drag. A luxury we did not have with our previous anchor. Kieran is loving life, whilst I (a true sailor?!) get sea sick - on anchor. On a peaceful Sunday, when the whole town is closed we have ourselves a little spa day. Heavy days here on Merewerther ;) Thank you all so much for watching!
