▬▬ THIS WEEK ▬▬
With mixed emotions we make landfall in Marquesas, French Polynesia! The excitement of seeing land after 26 days is unimaginable and hard to explain but a thread of sadness runs through the crew as this amazing experience comes to an end.
ONE day after arriving we finally connect with some very special people

▬▬ OUR STORY ▬▬
We are a multigenerational sailing channel with 2 boats and 1 collective dream of crossing oceans.
Meet Mick, Kate and their 2 boys Thomas and Bentley aboard Meraki a Stan Huntingford Explorer 45. An Aussie/Canadian family who dreamed of living life differently and took the leap into sailing life during COVID and have never looked back. Sailing from beautiful BC, Canada down to Mexico and then across the Pacific, through the South Pacific islands onwards to Australia and BEYOND!
You'll also get to know Kevin and Shawna (parents to Kate) aboard M2 a TransPac 49'. They've had had a lifelong dream to sail the world and are currently in the Caribbean with big plans to transit the Panama Canal very soon!
While the original goal was to be visiting anchorages together, life had different plans. With one boat being purchased in the Pacific NorthWest and the other acquired in the Caribbean we've been waiting out Hurricane season in separate Oceans.. but the reunion is going to be OH, SO, SWEET!
Explore the world through our eyes on our sailboat adventure of a lifetime! Let us take you with us on this journey to the next destination.
If you love adventure and want to see more you're in the right place.
▬▬ OUR SWEET THEME SONG ▬▬
Thank you to Set Sail for the use of their awesome song: "The Boat Song"

What a great story you guys are sharing! You all remain so positive no matter what #BoatLife throws at you. “The difference between an adventure and an ordeal is attitude.” You are an inspiration to us, and I'm sure you are an inspiration to many others.

New to the channel, found you through the budget boat video from 2020. Were you just celebrating the passage coming to an end or is the family moving back to dry land? Such amazing experiences to provide your kiddos, my fiance and I plan on starting a circumnavigation after we finish our degrees.

@CruisingMeraki Год назад

Hey! Welcome and congrats on your plans to cruise the world - so exciting! This was a celebration of crossing from Mexico to French Polynesia, something we had planned and dreamed about for a very long time!

Made it across the Pacific! A wonderful closing stretch. Looks like you timed the winds perfectly. Awesome how you caught the Wahoo for dinner(s) near the finish! Nice to hear how friends welcomed you with fresh bread and fruit. And then the heartwarming reunion with (grand)parents arriving aboard Meraki 2. Also enjoyed the exploratory trek you made upon landing. Gorgeous vista at 19:00. Thanks again for sharing.

@CruisingMeraki Год назад

It was amazing to make landfall and in such a picturesque place made it all the sweeter.

@tanyasoroka3314 Год назад
