Faced Our Fears: Shark Dive in Paradise (Fiji) EP71

🌊 Pacific Ocean Crossing: Australia to North America | Sailing Fiji & Exploring the Yasawa Islands ⛵ Our Pacific Ocean crossing from Australia to North America continues! Sailing west to east across the Pacific Ocean is the road less traveled — with narrow weather windows and challenging conditions making this one of the most demanding offshore sailing routes in the world. While we wait for the perfect sailing window to continue toward French Polynesia, the crew of Ruth Pearl is embracing island life in Fiji — and this week brings unforgettable firsts. 🦈 Swimming with reef sharks 🔥 A traditional Fiji beach bonfire 🥥 Drinking fresh coconuts straight from the source 🏝 Exploring remote tropical islands In this episode, we sail through the stunning southern Yasawa Islands, one of Fiji’s most breathtaking island groups.
