For those picture perfect days that defy description . . . , Or how the unexpected joy of sailing in the Tuamotus leads to a new term.
Summary
Working on Calypso in the boatyard wasn't always fun. In fact, many days were pretty terrible. But sailing in the Tuamotos has given us amazing days with beautiful sunrises and great sailing. Some of the best sailing has come inside the atolls.
Yes, you need to watch for coral heads. Sailing during the day with the sun behind you helps with that. But the protected waters are calm, and the sails have been relaxed.
Despite our experience, we see other cruisers motoring with no sails flying. Perhaps it takes them too long to deploy their sails? We have certainly benefited from sailing a small boat with a simple sail plan.
Cruisers talk about experiencing extreme highs and lows while cruising. Sailing in the Tuamotos has certainly provided plenty of highs.
