REPLAY Pau Hana #3: Cruising French Polynesia
Tehani Fiedler-Valenta, from Tahiti Crew, brings her wealth of knowledge as a Tahitian and a yacht agent and answered so many questions among topics:
- typical itinerary overview, with comparison of island groups
- arrival formalities discussion, including visa rules
- anchoring resources (and info on new rules / restrictions)
....and so much more.
Key links from the session:
- DPAM website (government maritime bureau)
- Yellow Flag guide to FP (formalities, anchoring regulations, etc.)
- Data.shom.FR: French Poly navigation info
- Tahiti crew website (and email contact)
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!
