Anchored in Maupihaa (otherwise known as Mopelia) - a remote atoll in the Society Islands of French Polynesia. No other boats around and no people; that is until we met Harry. This guy is one of 23 people who live on the island and he’s a coconut farmer.

We get chatting to Harry somehow - he speaks no English and we speak no French. It’s amazing how you can get by with a few gesticulations and drawing in the sand. He invites us to go fishing with him - at 5am! I’m not sure how we agreed to that when we were trying to replenish our energy stores for the 900 mile sail to Niue that lay ahead of us, but we did and we are glad we did too. Crumbs that was amazing! 25 fish in 50 minutes and all with a handline out the back of a sinking tin boat.

Harry brought us back to his amazing beach habitat to clean the fish and meet his pets. What a cool life this man lives.

The wind we had been hanging around for showed itself and it was time to make tracks. We goose-winged out of the island with full sails and full hearts.
