after an epic backpacking trip through

Utah Zion National Park it was time to

head back to the boat in Tahiti it

seemed like the time had passed too

quickly and leaving her family and

friends was way harder than we'd

imagined but alas we loaded our bags all

the book parts and knickknacks on our

list over a hundred pounds worth to be

exact

took a few last swigs of california

bubbly and headed home to cartago all

right going into the boat the first time

after three weeks away smells a little

stale

[Music]

stinks a little bit but yeah so far so

good

it's very wet wasn't very texture a

stuff check these specimens out okay get

some get some macro something on that

not always moving little critters three

days now and I have to admit that it has

been a lot better than I thought it was

going to be coming back they did lose

our bag at the airport are over weight

bag full of boat parts including our new

wind generator so we haven't been able

to get too much work done on that yet

but we got it back today and tomorrow I

think will be our last big work day

before we get to move on to the other

islands of Tahiti so just kind of

unwinding now after today's big cleanup

we did walk four things house they did a

little bit more than I did I got sick

coming back on the plane and

so I've just been kind of relaxing but

this isn't a bad place to be sick at all

with boat projects behind us we were

ready to set sail for the blue waters of

Moriah every year there are a few

hundred boats that make their way across

the Pacific Ocean and the Pacific puddle

jump rally celebrates this

accomplishment with a three-day

rendezvous in Mariah socializing at sea

is a big part of boat life and the

friends you make on the water are really

like none other they understand the ins

and outs of the lifestyle we've chosen

and the work it takes to make a dream

come true to catch up with boats we had

met from different parts of the world

was certainly something worth

celebrating

[Music]

[Music]

really

[Music]

for the new wind generator crank up some

abs crank up some power there to take

the edge off our embarrassing anchor

drag we hopped in the dinghy for a

little distraction we're still tying up

to the buoy and they're already here

very cool look the right there

that was quick with shirt

the big to the past few months here in

French Polynesia and for the first time

I'm actually really nervous because

there are like six manta rays underneath

my feet right now all waiting to be fed

[Music]

wait you'd think after months of diving

with sharks I'd be fine with a few manta

rays but I wasn't I wasn't fine to save

[Music]

mom we're trying to go on a hike we've

been wanting to go on this hike for half

an hour and we're trying to get our bag

ready to go but the zippers have we are

a little neurotic like we could just

leave without a backpack

we need a backpack but rocks are fun is

it really snacks they do carry snacks

zippers have coated thanks to the salty

air so instead of just getting ready to

go on our hike oh the moment yeah caught

on camera

yeah this there's the like salt patch

yeah how does salt get in there I don't

know but it happened to get right um in

the air so when people ask what we do

all day this is what we do

we can't just go on a hike like normal

people we have to first make sure that

our own hero doctor the element we stuck

our thumbs out and got a ride to the

trailhead around here hitchhiking is

common practice turns out the juice

factory was more a place where you could

just try the drinks they made somewhere

else but at least it was a way to get

hydrated before the hike we just geeked

out a little bit okay well history I did

my undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley

and Research Center at Berkeley Research

Center making that building right there

we met a student researcher working on a

study of empathy and cleaner fish she

was trying to figure out if these simple

little fish were capable of expressing

more complex human-like emotions like

compassion and affection we were lucky

enough to get a tour around the research

center to learn a little bit about Chico

there eating on the plates okay so how

can we tell which is a male and which is

a noun so female is the small one

so I just wonder where bozo

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

we are preparing to leave Mariah to head

to the next Island but in order to set

sail there are a few things that have to

be done

[Music]

so the Dena's still sick from all our

travels I think I lost her just doing

something weird now what's in that bowl

what's in that steaming bowl I'm in the

towel

I think there's like an island or a

thing it's helped clear my nasal

passages oh that's so sexy you look like

a nun right now yeah it's lovely
