Sometimes life is about making someone else’s dream come true!!
Wallis (our boat) has finally arrived in Wallis (the country)!
Yes there is a country called Wallis & Futuna and yes our boat Wallis is named after this country (and our dhingy is named Futuna 😁)
So hear is the “Wallis” story ⬇️
Wallis’s first owner, Julian, dreamed of having a boat and sailing her from France to Wallis. Et voila Wallis was born in 2015.
He sailed her from France to the Canary Islands, followed by a solo crossing to Brazil. Instead of heading for the Caribbean, Wallis sailed south toward Argentina and Chile, navigating the Patagonian channels. After crossing the South Pacific and stopping at Easter Island and Pitcairn, Wallis finally reached Polynesia.
The COVID crisis altered Julian’s plans, and he put Wallis up for sale in 2021. Enter Seb and me 😁 It now became our dream to get Wallis to Wallis.
Today this dream has come true 🙌🙏
