From Tahiti to Bora Bora via Raiatea on board the MV Tûranor Planet Solar

When the Planet Solar arrived in Tahiti I did a few KAP images of the ship in Papeete's harbour, and all went smooth and fast. The next morning one of my KAP shots was on the front page of the local daily newspaper: La Dépêche de Tahiti, I met with the crew and the inventor of this unique solar boat cruising around the world with just the energy of the sun and was offered to embark from Tahiti to Bora Bora for a "KAP trip" : 36 hours, 3000 shots, 25 Gb of HD space, 4 kites (PFK nighthawk, PFK super delta, dan Leigh Delta R8 and Flow Form 16), 5 rigs, 5 cameras ( Sony Nex 5, Sigma DP1, Ricoh GX 100, GoProHD, Leica M9) 8 KAP sessions from sunrise to sunset ... A great crossing with a Fantastic crew on an exceptional boat...KAP at its best under the sun with a great subject.
Check Day 180, 181 and 182 of the ship's logbook at www.planetsolar.org/no_cache/en/be-part-of-it/logbook.html
