Pitcairn Island to Tahiti - Tall Ship Chronicles 4/8
After spending almost one month at sea and having traveled 2700 miles without seeing land, the Picton Castle and her crew arrive at one of the most isolated islands in the world. This remote piece of land isn't just any island, but rather the home of the descendants of the mutineers from the HMS Bounty.
Palmerston Island - community of cousins Vlog 82
Palmerston Island has the most interesting history. First discovered by Captain James Cook in 1774 it was settled in 1863 by Englishman William Marsters along with his 3 Polynesian wives and 23 children. Today the island is still owned and run by the direct descendants of William Marsters with the exception of the nurse, teacher and church minister! The islanders show incredible hospitality to the steady stream of yachts that visit here every year, providing mooring buoys and lunch with your host family ashore everyday. Seeing as they have no shops and only two supply ships visit every year, the yachts are a great source of both supplies and entertainment for the locals. Possibly one of the most unique places on the planet - enjoy experiencing our visit with us!
We are the Robbins family sailing on our boat named Nikau.
We are a family of 5. Our 3 kids are doing NZ correspondence school on board. They are growing to love it! What's not to love about 3 hours of school a day and then a different playground for the afternoon every day!
We've traveled from New Zealand to Sardinia in Italy to pick up our boat and we plan over a few seasons to sail her back to New Zealand.
We hope you enjoy following us on our adventures!
We would love to hear from you. Especially if you are interested in doing something crazy like we are! Maybe we can help answer some questions you have?
Thanks and enjoy.
OFF GRID On the Most Remote Island on Earth
This is the Hakaui Valley on the remote island of Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas, French Polynesia.
With the nearest continental mass over 3000 miles away, this is one of the most remote islands on earth, and the Hakaui valley cannot be reached by road, plane, or anything other than a boat or a 17km hike from the nearest town of Taiohae.
The island itself is a full 3 hour flight from the capitol of Tahiti!
For this adventure, I'm seeing if I can survive for 24 hours in this jungle without electricity (other than minimal solar light), refrigeration, communication with the outside world, and the basic comforts we take for granted. Here they live off the grid, mostly living off the land foraging, growing their own food, and hunting for what they eat. This is true farm to table! This is a unique opportunity to see what it's like to live off the land, to be in harmony with the environment, and to get a peek into Marquesan culture.
