End Of The Trip – A Summary

Written by

My trip has come to an end, but what an amazing trip it was! It’s time to summarize:

– Completed an ocean crossing on a sailing ship of  1655 nautical miles. That’s 1905 standard miles, 3065 km.
– I visited 7 islands: Rapa Nui, Pitcairn, Mangareva, Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Raiatea, only one of which I had been to before!
– Took  7 airplane flights
– Acquired 13 real black pearls.
– Met dozens of new people, and will probably keep in touch with many of them
– Photographed 1 endangered species.
– Kayaked with dozens of dolphins.
– Stayed in an overwater bungalow.
One of my best trips ever, and I look forward to visiting French Polynesia again!
