This is part 3 of the journey from Panama to French Polynesia by MV Kariwa. a 15 day journey across the Pacific on a Nordhavn 62. www.insta360.c.... In the market for an Insta 360 camera, use this link.
Thank you. We were lucky with the weather for sure. We docked at the main govt dock for fuel so it's good fuel (supplies the island). The sailboats buy from a gas station, and it comes out in 55 gallon drums and is pumped on board... you have no quality control on the drums in that situation.
That’s amazing! Thank you for documenting your travels. I’m glad you guys made it safely. Nordhavn once again completing a transoceanic crossing! My wife and I hope to do this someday!
Once again, another amazing video. You both are absolutely amazing people. We sit here and we’re just amazed by your journeys and thank you for all the technical part of the journey with the Fuel miles per gallon and range. Keep traveling and enjoy your life and we will enjoy your videos. Best of wishes stay safe.
Hey guys, I saw you're listing Kariwa for sale in the PNW! We're sad to see it, but understand that life moves on. Hope y'all are well and happy in your new direction! We will miss your updates, really. Cheers!
I have no idea if this is a good plan but the engineer in me would want to give the engine a half-hour blast every second day on a long passage. What are your thoughts on that? Those fuel bladers look the business, especially if you intend to explore even more remote areas than you have, where fuel may be scarce or difficult to access with your yacht.
Good point, we did actually give the engine a blast for 30mins to an hour every couple of days, should have mentioned that. The bladders are heavy duty, but expensive, but I figure we will get some of that back at the end. Also very useful for remote places.
