https://sailingcalypso.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/DSC00830-190x143.jpg
Communication with the outside world can often be a problem in French Polynesia. The phone coverage is very poor on most islands and the internet connection is even worse. Prepaid internet is very expensive – too expensive for us. That’s …

I am writing a quick note because of the large number of concerned emails we are getting these days regarding Pam, the big cyclone that hit Vanuatu. We are far away and the cyclone did not affect us at all. …
Anchoring in coral
https://sailingcalypso.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/P1320605-190x142.jpg
The coral atolls are simply fantastic. Nobody can argue with that. Well, except maybe your anchor chain. While you will learn to love every fish and every view, your anchor chain will learn to hate every coral head and every …
