SO LUCKY TO BE HERE! Sailing Polynesian Atolls Ep. 117

Sailing the beautiful Tuamotu atolls and living the dream in paradise with family on board. We visit Makemo and Fakarava and experience Polynesian culture in the atolls.
Thank you to Eliza on Fakarava for her warm hospitality and to Steve on SV Leaward for sharing music with the sailors anchored in the bay at Hirifa.
