Intrepid adventurer Chris Osburn reminisces about his adventures on Tahiti’s high seas.
Celebrating its eleventh anniversary and touted as one of the most important yacht races in the South Pacific, the Tahiti Pearl Regatta combines competitive sailing – on the high seas and in lagoons – with cultural events and boozy night time festivities. The route changes every year to give sailors a chance to discover different aspects of this remote and tropical paradise. This year’s race took place over the weekend, bringing memories of my own adventure on the Tahiti seas in the 2013 regatta flooding back.
