A glassy, moonlit overnight passage took us from Moorea to Huahine, reputedly the only island Captain James Cook would recognise if he were to come back today. Huahine is nicknamed the 'Garden of Eden' for good reason, its lush hills are encircled by a ring of reef over which giant surf constantly breaks making this a surfing, diving and hiking paradise. We loved the huge variety of tropical fish and crystal clear water and enjoyed the famous Sunday afternoon island feast at Chez Tara.
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.
