13 | A Voyage Through the Tuomotu Archipelago

Though the Marquesas Islands had captivated us with their beauty, it was time to set sail on the 500 nautical mile passage to the Tuomotus. When we arrived we found islands that were different from the Marquesas in nearly every way. Turquoise lagoons lined by white sand beaches awaited us, and we found beautiful coral reefs surrounding the palm fringed islets. Julia is a traditional wooden boat, constructed to the Ingrid design by William Atkin. She was built in 1960 of fir and cedar on oak frames, and has proven to be a capable blue water crusing boat for voyaging the world’s oceans. Our dinghy is skin-on-frame and was designed by Dave Gentry.
