Hi everyone, This video is one of my favorites as it chronicles our amazing sail from the Marquesas to the Tuamotus a 400 nautical mile dash to the most coral infested waters we have ever seen. They actually delete the chart information within the atolls so you have to use your eyes and some satellite pics to stay off the "Bommies" (what they call coral heads) Come along as we enter our first "Atoll Pass" , meet some friends above and below the water along with some serious beachcombing and a wardrobe malfunction. I hope you see the absolute joy we experienced in this most famous set of islands in the South Pacific! Don't forget to stay for the outakes....a bunch this episode www.svhappytogether.com Music: Sailing by Leisure Cruise Fantastic Voyage by Lakeside Morning has broken by Cat Stevens Walk on the Ocean by Toad the wet Sprocket
