REPLAY Pau Hana #5: Wisdom from the Class of 2025
Boats who cruised the South Pac in 2025 come to answer questions and share their wisdom! We talked about French Polynesia's visa process, how to route / allocate time in FP's island groups, checking in with and without an agent, local hostility (truth vs myth) to cruisers, and more.
THANK YOU to the crews of Tino Pai, Salish Dragon, Dovka, Calypso, Curious, Meraviglia, Country Roads, and Tieton, for giving your time and insight to help the class of '26!
The Pau Hana Series is free of charge, honoring the cruising tradition of sharing knowledge and mutual support.
MEET Behan & Jamie, zoom series hosts
Hey, sailor!
We're Jamie and Behan from Sailing Totem. Previously we gave seminars in person to the fleet assembled in Mexico as they prepared for the big crossing to the Marquesas. Organizing this series is our response to the tragic passing of Mike Danielson: he hosted the fleet at his home in La Cruz, Mexico, where we collaborated on many seminars together over the years.
Sharing from our experience via Zoom is part of our DNA, something we've done for a decade as cruising coaches. With Mike's passing, this series felt like something we could do to carry on his spirit - despite our location on the far side of the Pacific. We hope you find it helpful!
