Grocery Shopping on Remote Pacific Island of Pukapuka - 4K VLOG 213

The SV Kwai has been sold to the Marshall Islands and no longer services the Kiribati / Cook Island route in the Pacific. This is one of the last documentations of this beautiful operation, of which I was very fortunate and grateful to have had the opportunity to experience and document.
The idyllic life on Pukapuka atoll, where the land and sea provides everything the people need. Supplies from the modern world are brought in by cargo ship, which arrives every few months. This documentation shows the extravagant process of boating supplies to shore and establishing the Kwai store where locals buy everything they need until the next shipment. This is a rare look into the life and economy of one of the most isolated islands in the Pacific Ocean. Thanks to the sailing cargo ship Kwai and Brad Ives for this beautiful operation!

    Don't go, please don't ever completely go...these islands, the Pacific, the People flow as much in your arteries and core being as you and your essence flow with and in them. So the Great Spirit at the Heart of the Great Mystery seems to have caused this reality to be. Namaste, beautiful one, May Healing and Peace return to your just now heavy eyes, heavy soul. I may never forget your grace and radiant blond hair riding in the wind on the KWAI before your first landing on Kiribati; may all that radiance fill all about you again, it is yet still within you.
