Here are some pratical hints about applying for a long stay visa in French Polynesia: the three steps to follow so you can leisurely enjoy the islands. Note - this information is current as of July 2025. Summary If you're an American who wants to stay longer in French Polynesia than the standard 90-day visa allows, you must apply for a long-stay visa. However, unlike in some Caribbean nations, such as the Bahamas, you cannot simply extend your visa when it is nearing expiration. If you don't have a long-stay visa, you'll be required to leave. So, if you worry about completing boat tasks on time or if you want to explore this beautiful country longer, apply for a long-stay visa from Panama. The basics: You need to request an appointment at the French Embassy online. It takes time to complete the request, and you'll need to have documents handy. You will ultimately need to visit the Embassy three times to complete all the steps. Your request requires approval from both Panama and Papeete in Tahiti. That means it could take weeks for your visa to arrive. Finally, you'll find helpful resources in the links below.

Tahiti, Moorea und Bora Bora – Namen, die nach Flitterwochen und Postkarten klingen.

E.Z., Mark, and Oscar set out on a journey to retrace Ray's footsteps in evangelism, beginning in Tahiti. Though Tahiti is often viewed as an exotic getaway, the guys were reminded that it's a land in spiritual need. On their first day, they encountered a group still out from the night before, and E.Z. boldly shared the gospel. Though one man started the conversation with a flamboyant demeanor, a visible change came over him as he listened. The guys emphasized the biblical principle of giving the law to the proud and grace to the humble. They stressed that salvation belongs to the Lord; their role is to remain faithful. From Tahiti, the journey continued to Fiji. Mark recalled starting to evangelize, only to be told by security guards they couldn't evangelize there. The guys crossed the street and quickly found someone open to the message—Oscar shared the gospel with a man named Peeta who immediately began weeping and asked how to follow Jesus. Oscar encouraged him to start by sharing with his nearby family. Peeta, living near a local chief's home, brought the guys there, leading to a touching moment where the chief's wife teared up hearing the gospel. E.Z. was deeply moved by the humility and openness they encountered. Next, the team traveled to Australia, where they balanced fun—like visiting a zoo—with the challenges of open-air preaching. Mark used a heckler as an illustration, while Oscar encountered initial rejection from two women who eventually agreed to talk when he appealed to their values. By leveraging cultural touchpoints, they found ways to engage in meaningful gospel conversations. In New Zealand, the guys visited where Ray was saved and began evangelizing. For Mark, walking through Ray's past was especially moving. They preached, connected with locals, and visited Ray's childhood home. The trip concluded in Hawaii, where even more opportunities to share the gospel arose.During a final Q&A, the guys addressed topics like how The Way of the Master began, the importance of redeeming downtime, and practical evangelism tips. Ray encouraged solo open-air preaching if done safely, and the team emphasized using time wisely. They affirmed that women can and should share the gospel, citing biblical examples like the woman at the well and Mary Magdalene. For those sharing with atheist family members, they advised appealing to conscience and loving boldly, noting that prayer is vital in evangelism. They concluded by addressing feelings of unworthiness, reminding listeners that grace covers all, and it's not about us—it's about Christ. Send us a textThanks for listening!

E.Z., Mark, and Oscar retrace Ray's evangelism journey across Tahiti, Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii, experiencing both challenges and powerful encounters as they shared the gospel. From late-night partiers in Tahiti to a weeping man in Fiji, they saw firsthand how the message of Christ can reach hearts in unexpected ways. Along the way, they used creativity, cultural connections, and boldness to open doors for conversation. Visiting places significant to Ray's faith journey made the experience even more meaningful. In a concluding Q&A, the guys offered practical evangelism advice, encouraged using downtime for spiritual growth, affirmed the role of women in sharing the gospel, and reminded listeners that God's grace makes us worthy, not our past. Send us a textThanks for listening!

In this episode of the Pearls of Wisdom Jewelry Podcast, we sit down with Aleah Arundale, diamond wholesaler, educator, and the dynamic founder of Jewelers Helping Jewelers (JHJ). Known for her bold personality, electric blue hair, and unwavering commitment to helping others, Aleah opens up about the evolution of JHJ and how the group's spin-off, the JHJ Crime Network, has become a vital tool in protecting independent jewelers across the country. Aleah shares how her journey started with a deep love for the industry and a desire to connect more authentically with other jewelers. What began as a few Facebook posts quickly grew into a thriving online community where jewelers share everything, from pricing advice and inventory questions to real-time alerts about suspicious buyers and criminal activity. She talks candidly about the heartbreaking stories that motivated her to take action, and the messages she's received from store owners who were able to stop scams or avoid theft thanks to her group's tips. But Aleah's passion doesn't stop at jewelry. She talks about running a donation center out of her home for families in need, transforming her yard into a whimsical fairy garden for local kids, and organizing global jewelry vacations, from Tahiti to Italy, and soon, Mexico. These adventures bring together industry professionals not just to network, but to truly bond, share knowledge, and spark new ideas in beautiful destinations. We also explore how jewelers can diversify their businesses through high-value asset lending, what Aleah calls “executive loans.” She believes that pawnbroking, when done right, offers a dignified and profitable way to serve customers in need, while also adding a stable revenue stream to any retail operation. Aleah encourages every jeweler to lean into what makes them different, whether that's through style, a unique hobby, or simply being real with customers. In a world full of sameness, standing out isn't a liability; it's your greatest strength. This episode is packed with actionable tips, heartfelt stories, and powerful reminders about the profound impact one person can have on an entire industry. Tune in to hear Aleah Arundale's story and walk away with new inspiration for building a jewelry business that's bold, authentic, and community-driven.   Brought to you by: Southern Jewelry News: https://southernjewelrynews.com/ Jewelry Store Marketers: https://jewelrystoremarketers.com/ Learn more about the Pearls of Wisdom Jewelry Podcast https://southernjewelrynews.com/podcast Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform:  • Apple Podcast = https://podcastsconnect.apple.com/my.-..  • Amazon Music/Audible = https://www.audible.com/pd/Pearls-of.-.. • iHeartRadio = https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-pe... • Spotify = https://open.spotify.com/show/6IU1OHw... • Google Podcast = https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0...

Dans cet EP intime et sincère, Cenzo explore les montagnes russes d'une rupture, les doutes, les élans, les sacrifices aussi. Entre influences pop anglo-saxonnes, variété française et mélodies lumineuses, il trace une voie singulière : la sienne. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Retrouvez ici une anecdote très improbable que Patrick a vécu pour de vrai de vrai. à Tahiti!

Born and raised on Oahu, Kelia Moniz is a two-time world longboarding champion, freesurfer, wife, mother, and entrepreneur. From a deeply rooted surfing family, Moniz rode her first waves around the time she learned to walk. She started competing at age 15, racked up a string of victories, and turned pro shortly thereafter. She is the 2012 and 2013 world longboarding champion. She spent much of the 2010s as a traveling freesurfer. In 2015, on a trip in Tahiti, she rode serious Teahupo'o on a longboard. Now 31 and a mother of two, Moniz and her husband, photographer Joe Termini, recently opened the Honolulu Pawn Shop, which sells clothing and Joe's work. In this episode of Soundings, Moniz talks to Jamie Brisick about competing, longboarding, her Town roots, living out her dreams, her most memorable trips, overcoming self-doubt, Rell Sunn's legacy, starting her own business, and surfing as a universal language.

Send us a textThe wine-soaked drama of Falcon Crest reaches new heights of delicious deception in Season 4, Episode 22, "A House Divided," where family loyalties are tested and mysterious newcomers harbor dangerous secrets.Fresh from their Tahiti honeymoon, Cole and Melissa return to Falcon Crest only for their marital bliss to be tested by old insecurities about children. Meanwhile, Angela Channing demonstrates her masterful manipulation skills with pregnant Lorraine, making it painfully clear she cares only about securing another heir to the Falcon Crest dynasty. When Lorraine realizes she's merely a vessel for Angela's dynastic dreams, she stages a confrontation at lunch—though her choice to dump salad on a shrimp cocktail rather than execute the classic soap opera drink-throw leaves something to be desired in the drama department.The episode delivers a thrilling surprise for viewers as we discover the mysterious advertising executive Cassandra Wilder and her brother Damon (played by Jonathan Frakes, who would later become famous as Commander Riker on Star Trek: The Next Generation) are harboring some connection to Angela's past involving a mysterious fire. Their scheming to use Richard as a way to get to Angela hints at a revenge plot simmering beneath the surface. When Angela finally comes face-to-face with Cassandra, she experiences an eerie sense of recognition, setting up what promises to be a shocking revelation.Chase demonstrates his own strategic prowess by convincing Connie Giannini to embrace her family heritage rather than sell her vineyard to Angela, thereby thwarting his aunt's expansion plans. Meanwhile, Terry breaks free from Richard's manipulation when she realizes his possible involvement in framing Lance, though her independence doesn't extend to her romantic pursuits, as she continues pursuing the politically ambitious prosecutor despite his clear message that she's not "governor's wife material."Have you noticed how Falcon Crest's storylines are growing increasingly bold and audacious this season?

  Where in the world am I? Brazil planning Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, returning from a recent trip to Asia. I'm in San Diego now, sharing my best travel ideas and working on another book for you to enjoy: 5 Steps to Solo Travel, Part C. I'm about to launch on a 90-day trip around the world. Listener Story Spotlight I want to tell you about a listener named Juliana who is from Brazil. She was a student of mine and now she works with me. She gave me a list of all the places in Brazil that I should be going to.She and I have known each other for 3 years. She's so beautiful and full of life. I'm so grateful for. Quick fire FAQ: The FAQ for today is:  Should I carry books with me to read on the trip? I recommend you download them from your local or cloud library. Then you read on the go. Don't carry more than you need. 3 things: neighborhood selection, daylight itineraries, scam avoidance Select neighborhoods that are walkable and have public transportation nearby if you don't drive. Read reviews on the AirBNB website before you select. When booking a flight or train, be sure it arrives at a daylight time, which can differ in winter months. If it comes after dark, it will be more of a challenge for you.  To avoid scams, be cautious when choosing passwords, logging out of websites, and making online purchases. These are very typical scams. If you are suspicious, you may be right to avoid that vendor and choose another. Don't look like a target, either   Today's destination is: Brazil.

This book must be published now because 14.8% of women are over 65, and most outlive their spouses. Another large chunk of women are in their 50s and early 60s and have years of activity to go. Plus, there are 38 million members of AARP, many looking for active choices on how they live and travel.  Gone are the days of your travel agent booking your paper airline ticket. You will not likely contact a travel agent for your trip. The more we understand others and their cultures, the more we can get along with them. Dr. Mary Travelbest is like Rick Steves for Women adventure travelers who are seasoned in years but have yet to gain travel experience. My daughter, my co-author, Tina, and I have been traveling since she was born 22 years ago. She's also made many solo trips, including visiting her sister in China for a month this year. She's completed her degree in Business, working on a Master's degree, and living/working in the San Francisco area. This book needs to be published so the Golden Years can be just that for those who like active travel.    The take away mantra is to go and find peace where you rest and bring good to others    You can travel solo and never be alone.

The Temple of Surf Podcast – This Week's Guest: Alessandro Piu – Italian Surfing Champion, Waterman, and Global Ambassador of Mediterranean Surf Culture This week on The Temple of Surf Podcast, we are honored to welcome one of Italy's finest surfers and a true ambassador of European surfing Alessandro Piu. Hailing from the sunny shores of Sardinia, Alessandro has carved out a remarkable path in professional surfing, breaking boundaries and making history as one of Italy's most decorated and recognizable surf athletes. With a fearless approach to the ocean, a deep respect for the environment, and a hunger for powerful waves around the globe, Alessandro embodies the spirit of the modern waterman. From Mediterranean breaks to the hollow reefs of Indonesia, from the rugged coastlines of Ireland to the barrels of Tahiti, he has proven that you don't need to be born in Hawaii or Australia to be world-class. Alessandro's story is one of determination, adaptability, and passion. Growing up in a country where surfing was still a niche sport, he discovered the ocean at a young age and quickly fell in love with the rhythm of the waves. Sardinia's varied coastline, ranging from wind-swept beach breaks to slabby reefs, became his training ground. With limited resources and exposure compared to surfers in California or Australia, Alessandro pushed himself hard, rising through the ranks with raw talent and tireless dedication. He quickly caught the attention of the European surf scene, earning titles at both national and international levels. Over the years, he became Italian Champion, represented Italy in ISA World Surfing Games and WSL Qualifying Series events, and participated in prestigious contests. His powerful, expressive style, especially in heavier surf, set him apart. Whether drawing sharp lines on a six-foot point break or charging thick barrels, Alessandro has consistently proven himself as one of the most complete surfers to ever emerge from Italy. But Alessandro is more than just a competitor, he's also a true explorer and surf culture storyteller. He has traveled extensively, surfed some of the most remote and challenging waves in the world, and helped shed light on Italy's unique surf geography. In recent years, he's taken on a role as an environmental advocate, using his platform to speak out about ocean conservation, pollution, and the preservation of coastal ecosystems. His involvement in sustainable surfboard initiatives and support of grassroots surf communities reflect his deep commitment to the planet and to future generations of surfers. On social media and in person, Alessandro has become a role model for aspiring surfers across Europe. His down-to-earth character, humility, and passion for wave riding resonate with fans from every background. He regularly collaborates with major surf brands, independent filmmakers, and ocean-focused nonprofits to amplify the message of connection between sport and sustainability. In this exclusive conversation with The Temple of Surf, Alessandro opens up about his early days surfing in Sardinia, the challenges he faced building a pro career from Italy, and his favorite destinations across the world. We also dive into his mindset during competitions, how he stays motivated during off-seasons, and what it feels like to represent his country on an international stage. Plus, he shares insights on the evolution of the Mediterranean surf scene, the importance of culture in surfing, and the legacy he hopes to leave. Whether you're a surfer from the coast of Biarritz, in Hawaii, or someone paddling out for the first time in Italy, Alessandro Piu's story is an inspiration. His journey proves that passion, grit, and respect for the ocean can take you to incredible places, even when you come from a country without a long-standing surf tradition. Tune in to this week's episode of The Temple of Surf Podcast for a raw, insightful, and powerful chat with one of Europe's top surfing voices. Alessandro Piu reminds us all that the soul of surfing knows no borders and that wherever there are waves and a deep love for the ocean, greatness can be found.

In a special two-parter episode of The Lineup, Dave Prodan sits down with fearless big wave charger and YETI ambassador Tom Lowe for two powerful conversations – one from before his nearly fatal incident in Tahiti in June 2025 and one after. In the first part of the episode, Tom rejoins us from Tahiti, still in recovery, right from the very place where he describes everything went very quickly from a dream to a nightmare. He walks us through the day it happened, at least all the moments he remembers. He recounts the locals' heroics, catching a few mid-sized waves himself, gaining confidence, and feeling ready for a big one. He speaks candidly about the mental toll of this injury versus the physical, and the emotional weight of what he's put his loved ones through. With striking vulnerability, he opens up about the recovery, the guilt, the gratitude, and the commitment to keep moving forward. The second part of the episode was recorded just before Tom's most recent mission to Tahiti, a trip that would culminate in a near-fatal injury at Teahupoʻo. Lowe discusses both the clarity and the nerves he was bringing into the swell, feeling ready to return since his first nearly fatal injury back there in 2023. He discusses life as a dad, the rhythm he's found chasing waves around the world, and the emotional toll of leaving behind his young family to pursue swells as a professional big wave surfer. He reflects on his latest film with YETI, Let Me Live, a raw and beautifully captured portrait of identity, purpose, and a life on the edge, produced by the legendary Keith Malloy and Bimarian Films. Follow Tom Lowe here. Let Me Live is out on YouTube everywhere TOMORROW (6/25). Watch it ASAP. Stay tuned to see the best surfers at the VIVO Rio Pro Presented by Corona Cero, June 21 - 29.

I'm back this week with four more shipwreck stories. We'll start with the horrific explosion of the Mississippi river steamboat, the Sultana in 1865. Next, we'll tackle the Titanic which famously sank in 1912, killing around 1,500 passengers. On to another famous ship, the Endeavor. The Endeavor was the British naval ship used by explorer Captain James Cook during his first voyage of discovery which landed him in Australia, New Zealand, and Tahiti in the mid 1700s. Later the ship changed hands and was eventually used and intentionally sunk during the American Revolutionary War. Finally, I'll end with what is, quite possibly, one of the most controversial shipwrecks ever found, the San Jose. This Spanish galleon has been called the "holy grail" of shipwrecks because it was supposedly carrying treasure worth up to 17 billion dollars today when it went down in 1708. As five plus countries argue over the San Jose's treasure, the ethical question remains - what should be done with these shipwrecks?Support the show! Join the Patreon (patreon.com/historyfixpodcast)Buy some merchBuy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaineSources: American Battlefield Trust "The Sultana Disaster"Wikipedia "Sultana"New York Times "Civil War Hull Is Reported Found"Live Science "Digital "resurrection" of the Titanic sheds light on fateful night the ship tore apart"National Geographic Press Release "National Geographic reveals groundbreaking underwater scan..."The Times "At last, the Titanic wreck is left to rust in peace"Wikipedia "James Cook"Australian National Maritime Museum "Evidence Identifying Endeavor"The Guardian "Discovery provides further evidence shipwreck is Captain Cook's Endeavor, maritime scientists say"The Guardian "Worm-eaten shipwreck of Captain Cook's Endeavor under threat from more marine animals"BBC "The fierce battle over over the 'Holy Grail' of shipwrecks"Shoot me a message!

"I would say my books are about three quarters research and sort of mining my research, and then one quarter writing," says Hampton Sides, author of several New York Times bestselling works of narrative history, including his latest, now in paperback, The Wide Wide Sea. It's published by Doubleday.So Hampton was great. There was a moment halfway through where my dogs got to barking, then howling, which made me give them a stern talkin' to. I think I edited that out. I should have. Hope I did. I can tolerate a little barking in the background, but the howling is obnoxious. Hampton got a laugh out of all of it … He's the author of eight books including In the Kingdom of Ice, Hellhound on his Trail, and Ghost Soldiers.Here we talk about: How he found his lane of book writing Of transitioning from a journalist to a popular historian Finding the frame Writing in coffee shops Running to the computer in the middle of the night And an April Fool's Day joke gone horribly wrongLearn more about Hampton at hamptonsides.com and follow him on the gram @hamptonsidesauthor.Order The Front RunnerNewsletter: Rage Against the AlgorithmWelcome to Pitch ClubShow notes: brendanomeara.com

William Bligh makes his miraculous voyage to Timor in the small launch, and Fletcher Christian and his fellow mutineers take the Bounty to the uninhabited Pitcairn Island. Meanwhile, 16 of the Bounty crew remain on Tahiti and are captured by Captain Edward Edwards of HMS Pandora. The Pandora itself wrecks on the Great Barrier Reef, killing 31 crew and 4 of the prisoners. The court martials result in Bligh being exonerated and 3 of the mutineers executed. The mutineers establish a settlement on Pitcairn Island, and their descendants still reside on the island. In 2012, the Bounty replica sank off the coast of North Carolina after being caught in Hurricane Sandy. This is Part 2 of a 2-part series. Written, edited, and produced by Rich Napolitano.

Nous sommes le 3 janvier 1911. Ouvrons « le Figaro », ce quotidien d'information fondé moins d'un siècle plus tôt. Pierre Loti, l'auteur à succès de « Pêcheur d'Islande » écrit : « Partout nous broyons à coups de mitraille les civilisations différentes de la nôtre, que nous dédaignons a priori sans rien y comprendre, parce qu'elles sont moins pratiques, moins utilitaires et moins armées. Et, à notre suite, quand nous avons fini de tuer, toujours nous apportons l'exploitation sans frein … » A sa mort, douze ans plus tard, le 10 juin 1923, la presse rend hommage à l'homme couvert de gloire que fut Loti : académicien, candidat sérieux au prix Nobel, on salue aussi l'officier de marine en retraite qui, tout de même, voulu se rendre au front lors de la Grande Guerre. Et encore et toujours on le compare à un prince de l'exotisme, on se répand sur les décors extravagants de sa maison de Rochefort, dans le sud-ouest de la France, on évoque les fêtes dignes des Mille et Une Nuits qu'il y donnait. Et puis on rappelle l'origine du pseudonyme que prit, autrefois, le jeune Julien Viaud : c'était par une belle nuit étoilée des mers du Sud, nommé Loti par les suivantes de la reine de Tahiti, Pomaré IV . Mais de sa carrière littéraire de « Reporter », peu se souviennent. Et pourtant… Partons, aujourd'hui, sur les traces d'un Pierre Loti, observateur sensible de la marche du monde … Invité : Alain Quella-Villéger, docteur ès lettres en histoire contemporaine. Signe, avec Bruno Vercier, la préface de « Pierre Loti – Le monde en passant » un ouvrage qui réunit des reportages de Loti ; éd.

At its height, the French colonial empire was the second largest in the world. One of its legacies is Overseas France — parts of France scattered around the globe, from Tahiti in the South Pacific to French Guiana on the South American mainland. In the first of a series of episodes on this strange geographic anomaly that makes France the country with the most timezones in the world, we dive into the islands of the French Antilles: Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Martin, and Saint Barts.

The legendary story of the Mutiny on the Bounty. In part 1 of this 2-part series, the Bounty departs England for Tahiti to obtain breadfruit. The crew become comfortable on Tahiti and form relations with the women. Commanding Lt. William Bligh becomes increasingly hostile toward his officers, and insults and humiliates them regularly, setting up the muitiny led by Acting Lt. Fletcher Christian.

Championne de France d'apnée dynamique, détentrice de records nationaux et professeure de breakdance, Hinatea Penilla y Perella Marere mène une vie à contre-courant, entre rigueur sportive et expression artistique. Originaire de Moorea, en Polynésie française, elle incarne un parcours singulier où la passion de l'eau, ancrée depuis l'enfance, devient le fil conducteur d'une vie bien remplie.Dans cet épisode, Hinatea revient sur son enfance au bord du lagon, entre Tahiti et Moorea, et raconte comment cette proximité permanente avec l'océan a façonné son lien à l'eau, entre jeux d'apnée improvisés et exploration du récif. Partie étudier en métropole pour devenir professeure d'EPS, c'est finalement la danse qui s'impose dans sa vie : compétitrice de haut niveau, vice-championne de France de breakdance, puis professeure de danse à Nice.Mais c'est à Nice, en 2015, qu'elle redécouvre l'apnée de manière structurée, au sein du club CIPA. Elle se passionne pour l'apnée dynamique, discipline dans laquelle elle excelle, jusqu'à intégrer l'équipe de France. Hinatea partage ici les coulisses de ses entraînements, ses sensations sous l'eau, sa gestion mentale des efforts extrêmes, ses routines respiratoires, ainsi que sa préparation pour les grandes compétitions comme les Championnats du monde d'Athènes en mai 2025.On parle également de son attachement profond à la Polynésie, de ses retours annuels pour se ressourcer, de sa relation étonnante avec Honuiti, une tortue verte rencontrée derrière la barrière de corail, et de son regard sur les menaces environnementales qui pèsent sur les lagons.Enfin, elle nous raconte comment elle parvient à concilier deux disciplines exigeantes – l'apnée et la danse – en trouvant un équilibre entre relâchement et intensité, introspection et performance, dans l'eau comme sur scène.Un épisode inspirant pour tous les passionnés d'apnée, de sport de haut niveau et d'océan.

We spent most of our time talking about the various records that were set at the London Marathon, this week's Cocodona 250, and the recent news from Ironman about their move back to Kona for a combined men's and women's World Championship in 2026.

This month finds us sail the warm waters of the South Pacific around Tahiti. We share our many impressions of this area and compare it to our next destination, Hawaii. Many assume that Tahiti and Hawaii are similar destinations but in fact they are significantly different. Hear our impressions and suggestions for Polynesian travel. Of course RVing is always on our minds, so we share new websites, articles and topic of interest from the RVing world.. Project Kuiper (Amazon) is about to launch a competitor to Starlink thus offering world wide internet via portable satellite receivers. Tune in for our take on these interesting topics.

History's most famous mutiny kicked off on 28th April, 1789, when Captain William Bligh was ousted from his ship by his former friend, Fletcher Christian, and 23 rebelling crew members: ‘The Mutiny on the Bounty'. Bligh and 18 of his loyal crew were then set adrift in a small boat with minimal provisions, while the mutineers set sail for Tahiti. Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how some ripening breadfruit was to blame for the mounting tensions and disillusionment among the crew members; reveal how Bligh faced (lesser-reported) subsequent incidents of mutiny; and investigate his flogging record… Further Reading: • ‘The real story behind the infamous mutiny on the H.M.S.

Captain Liz Clark (@CaptainLizClark) spent her youth dreaming of traveling the world by sailboat and surfing remote waves. At the age of 22, she met a mentor who helped turn her desire into reality. Embarking on an adventure that most only fantasize about, she set sail from Santa Barbara, California, as captain of her 40-foot sailboat, Swell, headed south in search of surf and self. Liz captured her voyage in her memoir, Swell, sharing tales of sailing in high seas, of solitude and surprises. During this podcast, we explored Liz's relationship to God, her experience setting down roots in Tahiti, and her daily habits that led to her completed memoir.

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following recording and notes:Broadcaster: Radio Tahiti 1971Frequency: 15.170MHzReception location: Ancaster, Ontario, CanadaReceiver and antenna: Hallicrafters S-52 using a longwire antennaNotes: Radio Tahiti was a very popular station with shortwave listeners back in the 1970's. Their island type music was very listenable and the station often put a decent signal into eastern North America with their 20 kw of power on 15170 kHz. The late Dr. Richard E. Wood reported in the Communications Handbook for 1972 that this frequency was activated on April 10, 1971. I made this recording of their sign off announcements in French, closing song and La Marseillaise sometime in 1971.

We never intended to buy a house in FL, but this month we ended up with a new home for the motorhome at our RV resort in Titusville, FL. We explain the decision and details in this month's episode as move ahead on buying this new abode in FL. The sale is not final until mid-May, so we headed North to Chicago just in time to leave on our next adventure, a cruise in Tahiti and Hawaii. The weather being what it is, the MH needed to be winterized while it sits in the cold in Chicago., We'll not be taking it to its new home until November (2025) due to our upcoming Alaska adventure which starts in July.

By the mid Nineteenth century Europeans had conquered or explored all of the Americas, Asia and even remote Pacific outposts that we know today as Australia, New Zealand, and Tahiti. But bizarrely one area remained largely unexplored and it was right on Europe's doorstep: Sub Saharan Africa.  As you might expect, explorers, missionaries and of course colonialists soon made their way down South. They encountered new languages, customs, ethnic groups and evidence of previously unknown (to Europeans) civilizations. But more surprisingly, they also encountered a group of people who identified as Jews. These were not converts to the religion but rather African people who claimed they were ethnically the descendants of Abraham, and perhaps even one of "The Lost Tribes of Israel." More remarkably, they also had an explanation for what had happened to the Ark of the covenant. It wasn't in Ethiopia, Israel,  or in a huge CIA operated warehouse full of crates. No, it was in their own backyard. British Scholar Tudor Parfitt who has specialized in studying Jewish history decided to investigate these seemingly outlandish claims. Had these people in Zimbabwe merely adopted a form of Judaism introduced by Christian missionaries? Was there any evidence aside from oral tradition to substantiate their claims? The results of his research stunned the world. In this episode I speak with Tudor Parfitt. Guest:  Tudor Parfitt Bio Music: Pixabay  

In July of 2002, former NBA star Bison Dele (Daily), his girlfriend Serena Karlan, and a boat captain named Bertrand Saldo vanished while sailing the South Pacific Ocean. The only person to return from the trip was Bison's older brother, Miles. When Miles arrived alone in Tahiti, the boat had been repainted and renamed. Authorities suspected Miles had murdered the other three while at sea so that he could assume his brother's identity, but with no bodies ever found and with Miles' death in 2002, the fate of Bison and his companions remains a mystery to this day.  Thank you to this week's sponsors!

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Ethan works for TSA at LAX On the busiest travel day, according to him - Christmas Eve. His pregnant girlfriend, Nora is trying to get Ethan to try to go through the police academy again even though he failed last time. But that seems hard so he decides he going to really try to move upward in the TSA, so he gets to work and asks his supervisor, Phil, to assign him to manage a baggage-scanning lane, cuz that's what the big dogs do.While on duty, Ethan finds an ear bud and is instructed to put it in. He begins to hear the voice of a bad guy we know just as the Traveler, who threatens to kill Nora unless Ethan allows a specific carry-on bag to pass through the scanner without interference. The Traveler's accomplice, the Watcher, monitors Ethan remotely via the airport security cameras, making sure he can't call for help or do any funny business. Ethan secretly tries to alert his co-worker with a message written in invisible ink, but before he can act, the Traveler poisons him and causing him to have a heart attack.Jason's boss notices Ethan is kinda all over the place so he replaces him with his friend Jason. When the Traveler threatens to kill Jason if Ethan doesn't comply, Ethan plants an alcoholic drink at Jason's workstation and rats him out for being drunk on the job. Back in control of the scanner, Ethan lets the instructed carry-on bag through but later finds out that it contains this deadly nerve agent.Meanwhile, LAPD detective Elena Cole investigates a double homicide tied to the smuggling of said nerve gas. She suspects shady doings at LAX so she orders a terminal-wide sweep and Ethan secretly flags the bag guy for inspection. Suspecting Ethan's interference, the Traveler confronts him in a restroom, leading to a scuffle where Ethan manages to seize the Traveler's plastic gun. The Traveler is like big whoop and arms the bomb.So Ethan has to go stop the bag guy from being inspected and hopefully disarm the bomb, which he does but not before his boss is killed by the bag guy who then reveals to Ethan he's also being blackmailed—his husband, Jesse, is being held hostage by the Watcher. The Traveler shows up and grabs the bag case and orders the Watcher to kill Nora, but Ethan uses the original bag guys phone to warn her and she escapes. On the way to the airport Detective Cole realizes this officer she is with is an imposter working for the Traveler and kills him. She then gets to the airport, finds Ethan, only to find out that Ethan is trying to stop the bomb and pleads for her to trust him. They discover the Traveler's target is a Congresswoman who's on a flight to Washington, D.C for a meeting about weapon funding. The planned attack is going to to implicate Russia, and would then get massive defense spending approved and bad guys like that.The Traveler boards the flight, unaware Ethan has swapped the bomb into a similar but larger suitcase, forcing him to stow it in the plane's cargo hold. Ethan sneaks into the hold to disarm the bomb while Nora persuades Cole to let the flight take off, so that the Traveler wouldn't suspect anything shady. but he gets a notification that someone is working on the bomb, so he figures it out and goes down to stop Ethan. Before the Traveler can rearm the bomb and escape via parachute, Ethan locks him in an airtight refrigeration unit with the nerve agent, killing him. The plane safely returns to the airport.A year later, Ethan, now a police officer, travels with Nora, their son, and Jason's family on a trip to Tahiti. At a TSA checkpoint, Ethan places his LAPD badge in the scanning tray, having finally achieved his dream.

If you've been looking for a go-to points and miles program for international travel, let us introduce you to Flying Blue, the joint loyalty program of Air France and KLM. In this episode, we're diving into why this program has become one of our absolute favorites. Why We Love Flying Blue Pam kicks things off by breaking down the basics, including which airlines use Flying Blue and how you can easily transfer points to that program.  Sweet Spots & Family Perks One of the biggest reasons we love Flying Blue? Their incredible award pricing. Even after their recent devaluation, it's still one of the best options for booking flights to Europe. Megan highlights how Flying Blue offers discounted kids' fares, and Alex shares how she used these discounted fares to book amazing flights for her whole family of six to Amsterdam. Promo Awards & Transfer Bonuses = Big Savings Another reason we keep coming back to Flying Blue is their monthly Promo Rewards. These discounted routes—often between major U.S. and European cities—can significantly lower the miles needed for economy flights. And stacking Promo Awards with transfer bonuses from credit card programs is where the real magic happens.  Best Ways to Book Flights Megan shares her top strategies for getting the best deals with Flying Blue and Alex also highlights one of Flying Blue's coolest perks: free stopovers in Amsterdam or Paris!  Flights We've Booked Using Flying Blue The Travel Mom Squad has taken full advantage of this program.
