Living on a Sailboat | A Day in the Life in Remote French Polynesia

Welcome back aboard SV Goose — Our floating home. Today we’re sharing a real “day in the life” from the remote, wild, and ridiculously beautiful atoll of Tahanea in French Polynesia. 🌴⛵️

We start the morning the only way we know how: coffee and a salty sunrise (see what I did there?). Then it’s straight into the daily rhythm of living aboard — a mix of cooking, working, fixing, tidying, and laughing at the fact that boat life never actually goes according to plan.

Of course, we make time for fun too. Whether it’s a quick dip, a little exploring, or just soaking up that endless turquoise lagoon, Tahanea has a way of turning even the simplest moments into something special.

No two days out here ever look the same, but somehow SV Goose always feels like exactly where we’re meant to be. Living aboard is honestly better than anything we ever dreamed up.
