Great Barrier Reef, Spirit of Freedom, 2024
Hey everyone,
We finally made it to the GBR. My laptop died in Fiji so lost all of the footage onward to Australia but we made it in "one piece". We did a liveaboard on the spirit of freedom, 4 nights going out to osprey reef. It was a great experience and we got super lucky with the dwarf minkes.
Enjoy!

We have finally made it to Fiji and arrived in Savu Savu where we stayed at Corpa Shed marina. Was a cool place but didn't get much video. We had some amazing dives at rainbow reef though!

Hey everyone, On this trip we are making our way closer to Fiji. We decided to skip the Cook islands as it was pretty windy down there. We thought America Samoa would be a nice break to cut the journey to Fiji shorter. It was a nice pit stop however the anchorage was super windy, and a few boats dragged. We only stayed a week to recharge until we headed back out to sea. Next stop Fiji!

We spent a month in Bora Bora on mooring balls which was really cool. The water here was gorgeous with a bunch of reefs inside the break and a bunch of fish. We were here during the annual canoe race which was also neat to watch as they came around the boat.

Hey everyone, We are almost to the end of our journey exploring French Polynesia. In the back ground you can see Bora Bora which is the last island we will be visiting, but also be one of the nicest. The diving here is Raiatea was also pretty amazing. Its always a weird feeling jumping into the water being circled by sharks. There was an old wreck we got to check out which was cool too.

Next one our string of islands is Huahine, which is around 90 NM west of Moorea. This is another set of islands that rarely gets visited as it is between Tahiti and Bora Bora. This island is known for its Vanilla farms. It seems like every island has their own specialty. Off to Raiatea and Taha'a next!

Although we didn't get to see the great grouper spawn, it was still some of the best diving I have experienced. We got lucky and spent days diving with manta's... next stop Papeete, Tahiti!

After crossing the Pacific we only stayed in Nuka Hiva for 3 short days to rest before we headed off again. Because of covid Nuka Hiva is the first port you can enter into, which made it extremely busy. After exploring the island we took off to Fakarava, which is where the fun begins. Enjoy!

Hey everyone, This is Part 1 of our pacific crossing from Panama to Nuku Hiva. Th crossing took us 28 days which was actually faster than we expected. The first week of the trip was super calm, and we experienced the smoothest ocean ever while out at sea. Of course that didn't last long as we progressed further into the pacific. Enjoy.

Hey everyone, We stopped at the Pearl Islands off the coast of Panama before we headed across the pacific. It was a great decision, as we didn't know what to expect. A lot of other boaters had said there were whale sharks as well as the mobula ray migration so we were hopeful. We asked for coordinates from other boats to find this anchorage and were super surprised to see so many whale sharks! ...

      Hey loggerhead key is around 2 miles west of dry tortugas national park. Getting to loggerhead isnt easy without your own boat tbh. I think the only way you can do it is to take the ferry to dry tortugas and camp at dry tortugas for a night. Then you can kayak there early in the morning and spend the day there. If you do this be sure to bring a radio and let the ranger know. We rescued 2 different sets of people on kayaks while we were there. Hope you make it there!
