Cruising Life in Makemo: What it's like Living on a Remote Atoll

Welcome back to life aboard SV Goose! We’re exploring the remote atoll of Makemo in the Tuamotus — a place where the water is impossibly clear, the pace is slow, and daily life depends on the rhythm of the ocean… and the supply ship.

We take you underwater with us into Makemo’s stunning reefs, soaking in the magic of this place. Then it’s back to town to see if the supply ship has made it in — because out here, that arrival means everything. Fresh food, fuel, essentials… or sometimes nothing at all.

It’s all part of living (and sailing) in one of the most remote corners of the world. If you’ve ever wondered what cruising life is really like — the beauty, the unpredictability, the small wins, and the everyday challenges — this episode gives you a genuine glimpse into it. Join us for another day in paradise aboard SV Goose. 🦢✨
