Un changement de cap nous mène à l'atoll oublié de Bernard Moitessier

We had a plan: leave the Apataki lagoon to reach the legendary Rangiroa atoll. But on a sailboat, the real boss is the weather! 🌬️ This is the story of a sailing trip full of surprises in the heart of the Tuamotus (French Polynesia), forcing us to change course to an isolated atoll steeped in history. Embark with us on a journey that didn't go as planned at all. After leaving Apataki, we faced headwinds that diverted us to Ahe, the secret atoll where legendary sailor Bernard Moitessier dropped his anchor for 3 years. On the agenda: 🌊 Navigating the tricky northwest pass of Apataki with an outgoing current. ⛵️ Adapting at sea: when you have to change your destination mid-journey. 🏝️ Discovering the atoll of Ahe, a remote gem of French Polynesia. 🗺️ In the footsteps of Bernard Moitessier: searching for his house. 🔋 A little technical trouble: when our batteries died in the middle of the night! 🐬 The grand finale: our magical arrival in the Tiputa pass of Rangiroa, welcomed by dolphins! That's life on a sailboat: adapting, discovering, and being amazed. We hope you enjoy this adventure! #sailing #sailinglife #frenchpolynesia #Tuamotus #adventure #Rangiroa #boatlife #travel #Moitessier #Ahe
