We’ve loved the remoteness and isolation of the Tuamotus – it’s amazing being able to focus on our family and our time together. We leave Tahanea behind and have rough seas on our way to Fakarava. We tour a pearl farm and see the Topaka lighthouse. We sail to Tahiti but not without having a military plane fly by our boat – hailing us to remind us of the Olympic surfing restrictions. We find out Daniel’s parents are coming in a week and scramble to gather provisions for our party of 8. Our macerator goes out and this repair is causing more headaches than normal – EVERYTHING goes wrong!
Thank you for watching and subscribing. You don’t know how much we appreciate it!

Groovy episode.
Remember to use sunscreen or protective clothing and hats!
Also, if you want space efficient way to get soda, I would recommend getting one of those big food grade CO2 canisters (not soda stream), then get fitting for it to make soda water. For example, you can get sodastream adapter to take co2 from big tank into the sodastream machine via pipe, or you can refill sodastream. Kegland is one company that makes them. But you can probably find them for other companies too. You can even skip the sodastream and just do the carbonating in normal bottle.
This will last very long time, especially good for a boat.

You need to use ethanol free gas thats why your dingy motor is Fowled and get rid of the electric toilets get the hand pump ones much more reliable just my opinion
When I sail to Tahiti, I also want to work on a broken toilet.
Just kidding. But I surely would do it nekkid so I won’t soil my clothes
I thought sailing was all unicorns and rainbows. Just joking. Thanks for showing the people the dark side.
Hi love your life guys
You sail all the way to Tahanea but can't be bothered to pronounce it properly. Utter fail

This episode proves that even in paradise you still have to eat and use the bathroom. Which isn't always easy. That fresh-baked loaves look worth the wait! Nice Whale sighting. Dan enduring a tribulation with the toilet but we know he is the man to see a job through. Who else knew the voltage vs current thing? (I didn't.)
It’s great to see the progress you guys have made from crying because of the smallest things to laughing to tears about a toilet.
the realness with the toilet was refreshing.
I'm still very envious..!!! You guys are GREAT…!! Tahiti..!!!
The Dad is a real trooper! Almost every episode the poor guy is fixing something. Great family, great job guys.
The toilet adventure is top tier content lol
Appreciate Y'all sharing this epic adventure with us
Enjoy your videos.
