We sailed at night, almost before anyone realised. The ship swivelled silently off its berth and slipped into the harbour basin. Only when the yellow lights strung along Papeete’s waterfront began to trickle past to port was I sure that the voyage had begun. It was a moment I knew I was lucky to experience, and one that I marvelled should exist at all. Outside lay Polynesia, ahead the Sea of the Moon; beneath me spread the teak deck of a fully rigged tall ship.

A crack of sail canvas filling in the trade winds of the South Pacific, the squeal of rope through the blocks, the recorded notes of a full orchestra sweeping the deck and the rushing sound of our ship cresting through turquoise seas to the next island.
We could only watch in awe, transfixed by the power and the beauty of our four-masted tall ship under its full 3,000 square feet of sail. This cacophony of sound had become a real music of the sea, conducted by a captain and crew sailing these magical, sun-kissed waters with a captive audience of travellers from 16 nations.
