Pacific Ocean Crossing Week #18 | Motor Yachting to Tahiti! | EP85

Ever wonder what it’s really like to live aboard a blue water cruising yacht? Join us behind the scenes for a 100nm ocean passage in French Polynesia, from Huahine to Moorea as we make our way to Tahiti. We break down everything it takes from anchor up to anchor down aboard our Selene Trawler. This ocean crossing is all part of a year-long adventure of a lifetime as we cruise from Australia to North America. We're fighting trade winds and navigating cyclone zones, spending weeks at sea at a time. Currently exploring the South Pacific, we invite you along for a sun-up to sun-down look at a raw, uncut day at sea in a trawler boat. If you love passage planning, motor yachts, trawler life, boat maintenance, or long-range ocean cruising, this video is for you.
