Travel Day: A Rest Stop in CT to Normandy Farms RV Resort, MA
ODOMETER: 78,488 | MILES TRAVELED: 543
by Grant
We made the short hop to Massachusetts and our first vet appointment for the dogs. Oh yes, part of the logic in heading north this close to winter was to have the dogs undergo UV and ozone treatments for Ehrlichia (see “How We Got Here”) at an integrative vet just down the road from Jana’s family outside of Boston. Margo Roman is a phenomenal integrative vet in Hopkinton, MA and has been talking with us remotely about treating our four legged tribe.
We then headed to our first RV park of the trip, Normandy Farms, in Foxboro, MA. Awesome!! This RV park has amazing amenities, super clean restrooms and laundry, a spacious dog park, bike track, RC cars track and much more. It was quiet, spacious, picturesque and just what we needed.

Sailing Tahiti to Australia | Leg 3: Bora Bora to Fiji Passage
After having waited in French Polynesia for two and a half months, we excitedly sailed out of Bora Bora around 7:30 am on Saturday, September 4th. Like the rest of French Polynesia, Bora Bora was in COVID lockdown, and we had spent the last week waiting for our departure paperwork to go through all the requisite bureaucratic channels. This required multiple trips to the local gendarmerie (police station), where Grant quickly befriended the two kind and helpful officers, Alex and Bruno.
Sailing Tahiti to Australia | Leg 2: Mo’orea to Bora Bora
It took us about 24 hours to get from Mo’orea to Bora Bora on August 28 2021. Like the rest of French Polynesia, Bora Bora was in COVID lockdown, and we spent a week there waiting for our departure paperwork to go through all the requisite bureaucratic channels. This required multiple trips to the local gendarmerie (police station), where Grant quickly befriended the two kind and helpful officers, Alex and Bruno.
We made trips to get water, fuel and provisions, but apart from that we had to stay on the boat. We passed the time snorkeling (saw a giant moray eel!) and inventing new water sports.
Once we received our exit paperwork, we were finally free to leave for Fiji.
