- Welcome back to another episode of WE|Sail, on this weeks episode, we arrive to the final stop in French Polynesia to an island called Maupiha'a with our deliveries in tow.
A local man, Marcelo, who was returning to his home island from Maupiti was with us and was a very valuable asset to us as we exited Maupiti and now entering the very narrow pass in Maupiha'a.
As a thank you for bringing him home along with the supplies to his family, they hosted us for a delicious lobster dinner!

The manta was dancing for you! Amazing!
The drone shot of the manta ray, sharks and snorkler was just awe inspiring. Just 110% jealous here on dry land.
Awesome video! We just gave Marcello a ride back to Maupiti! Such a great family! Maupihaa is one of our favorite spots on the planet! Today we connected him with a couple of boats to send some stuff back to Maupihaa. Tomorrow we are visiting him at his family's home here in Maupiti... THIS is what cruising is all about! Being able to help each other out is such a gift. :)
Wow SO COOL!! Man thanks for taking the time to write us!! Tell him hello for us!!
Great episode guys. How cool to visit such a remote place and share a meal with such unique people! The Manta dance and drone footage was epic!
Diving/swimming with Mantas is a bucket list thing for me! Damn that was impressive!
Absolutely Fantastic, U 2 have become world 🌎 Sea Farers and video photographers showing places most would never see or know about. Also, Ambassadors of the Ocean Countries sharing good will, good times, and just being yourselves. Thank You. Jim & Rosemary S/V Alberta Rose
What a totally groovy episode. Congrats,, you got the President to his island. Lobsters for dinner. That plate of lobster would of cost close to $200 in Florida where I live. Yummy! Exciting look at your trips to come, scary but exciting as well. Damn, you went this episode saying you will be diving a on war ship from WW1 or 2. I am a total history nut on those subjects. Can't wait to see next week. Hurry up next week.
Enjoying your videos - they're very good. Thanks to Delos for introducing you to us.
So glad to have you join us! Thanks for watching
What beautiful people. Your so blessed having the opportunity to meet such people. But hey, you did deliver the president home 😊🤔. Keep up the good work 💪 SV Kiwi Lady Opua Bay of islands New Zealand 👍🏿
I've been trying to remember where I knew Marcello from, then when you said Colin and Parlay helped him out it came rushing back... Just another view into who you sailors are... You helped bring supplies and Parlay gave them a few hours of labor, that probably saved them a week of labor. Sailors are always lending a hand, giving back, it's a great community of people, from all over the world. We could all learn some valuable lessons watching you just live your life. Thanks!
I just have to say it again, your channel is so good and has become my favorite one. Your talent of film making , storytelling and teaching is next level. And honestly how, how, how are you not at least 100 K at min. Blows my mind. :(
Wow, thank you Brenda, seriously thank you!! Just kinda made our day!! We really appreciate you taking the time to message us like this!! Have a great day!!
Cool beans on your transport. Helping out seems to be a common theme among cruisers. Parlay is on their way back to Tonga and weather permitting should be there soon. Thanks for another perfect Wednesday with the help of your wonderful content!
Another awesome video!
I have the same shirt as Marcelo..lol..happy vibes.
All the automation was one reason I wasn’t unhappy to retire from airline flying. I miss the days where you could be proud of the skill it took to get you where you wanted to go. But the safety and efficiency can’t be beat. So.. we suck it up and enjoy. And you guys are doing that in spades. When I heard “Well… that’s it for this week”, I let out a gasp. You sent me away in a Time Machine. What a great episode!❤
Warren you are too kind with your words. I do need a solid dose of "nerd knobbing" to make me tick! John will be happy to see this video, I will be sure to point it out to him. We are always happy to be hanging out with you guys. As I type, we sit in America Samoa, waiting on both your and my packages. See you soon in Tonga!
❤I am not surprised that you are having a very good time
Oh my gosh what an excellent Video :) why have I not seen you guys before!!! keep um coming please :):)
Love Mantas, great vid as usual
Watching that Manta was like watching a ballet. So beautiful.
Doing volunteer work for people is always rewarding.
Good for you both.
I saw Colin's Video of his time building/helping that family.
Love you guys! So kind of you to help Marcello & his family. Safe travels. ❤
Unreal Adventure!
Having grown up in an amazing town, being a local and sharing my community with visitors was a great honor. These people are proud to share their home with the two of you. How blessed are you kids!!!
When I was younger, I discovered the book "Dove" by Robin Lee Graham, who circumnavigated at 16 on a very small monohull (there was a movie too, but the less said about that the better)....with no modern technology as it just hadn't been invented yet. After learning about all the "tools" modern sailors have at their disposal, not only do I have an even greater respect for his journeys, but, like you, I could not even imagine leaving the dock without them. We are truly spoiled - in (what I believe) a good way.
We are SO spoiled!! Well thanks, and I also LOVE that book!!
THANK YOU for sharing!! I am jealous! I want to be a stowaway on VA!! My boat has its own stowaway in a birds nest with eggs!!!
What a beautiful island and people. The manta so perfect.
Locals are wonderful people. Thanks for sharing.
Yes they are! Thanks!
I absolutely love this sailing community & their generosity. 💗
Thankyou 😊 , excellent program .
Manta so graceful unlike me swimming more like swimming and still breathing.
Crikey it’s only a matter of months and you’ll be here in New Zealand. I’ll put on a BBQ and stoke the outdoor fireplace.
i thought it would be hard to beat last week but I think you did it!
Just love you two and your great videos. I feel a sense of pride at your accomplishments, I know that doesn't make sense. Your willingness to share, to love, to create friends wherever you go is what does it for me. Thank you.
😀😀👍👍❤❤ As usual great video footage, editing and narration. Looking forward to next week's show! Bye for now from Seattle, WA.
Thanks Thomas, appreciate you taking the time to comment!!
Wonderful episode! Highest Blessings
You simply taking time out of your lives to take the extra supplies....Those children will remember you always. The stories they will tell their children about seeing you arrive with things just for them...Teaching such kindness. Well done.
Thank you! Wonderful vid! When you left Tahiti a year or so ago Erica had a wonderful time with a manta ray. Nice to see again!
Beautiful views in this video!😊
Great Vid....one of your best....the drone really showed how big those Mantas are.....WOW❤❤❤❤❤❤LOVE, LOVE, LOVE seeing their actual size next to Erica❤. Thanks for all you do. I remember Colin being there, I think someone he knew died in that pass, that's why he visited. He came to help them. Have to look it up. Thank you again ❤
Thanks you thank you
Looks like an amazing place. The water is so beautiful.
AWESOME GOOD JOB
Always love your drone shots. They add so much.
Glad you like them! Thanks!
Thanks so much for this video you two! it really hits home with me because I spent my childhood growing up with these people in Hawaii and it brought back the same feeling of O'hana that I felt growing up. Sincerely, thank you... It's having a big impact on getting me to move onto my boat and sail west as well. You guys are the BEST. Jeff Broome, Portland Oregon
Hey thanks Jeff, see you out here some day!!
Tremendous bookends for your French Polynesia experience.
Thanks, wonderful to see this WEdnesday episode/vlog! Looks like the next part will continue in epicness with the routing you shared. Thanks and cannot wait for next post!
Incredible always ⚓️
Have a sundowner for me!
Great stuff guys!
Appetizing!
Watching your videos, sometimes is better then sex, the adventures, the surprises, meeting old friends... I don't want to sound weird or anything like that, but, watching those rays and sharks, WOW!!!
Wow what an awesome episode! Just wondering what the name and the coordinates are for Marcelo's Island. We sure would love to visit 1 day!
Love ❤
🤩
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Parlay crew are still in NZ
Just for Erica, I am french and I can hear you talking with locals.
How did learn to speak french so well? Are you canadian?
I feel compelled to message you about the rainbow 🌈
I started making bread, but then saw a meme saying you’re depressed if you make bread. Stopped making bread.
Did you say a population on 9 or 90?
You've found another beautiful place, but it's not as beautiful as the people who live there.
Slow down woman. Allow your husband to speak. It’s so odd watching you talk over him. Ok, peace out.
