I'll have photographs of that later during this, uh, podcast, and tomorrow is the total solar eclipse.

are three cruise lines that are based there pretty much year round.
Mark FaldmoHOST
3:41
Windstar Cruise Line, which is one of the tall sailing ships that does French Polynesia.
Mark FaldmoHOST
3:46
There's Paul Gauguin Cruise Line, which is a small ship luxury cruise line.
Mark FaldmoHOST
3:52
And then there's Aranui that we've talked about, which is more of a unique.
Patrick WiscombeHOST
3:58
And you've been on that.
Mark FaldmoHOST
4:00
I've been on the Aranui.
Mark FaldmoHOST
4:01
I have not been on Windstar or Paul Gauguin.
Mark FaldmoHOST
4:04
The best way, I think, if you want to see French Polynesia is by a repositioning cruise or a type of specialty cruise that visits there but doesn't begin or end there.
Mark FaldmoHOST
25:57
Star Clipper sails in the Mediterranean during the summer and Caribbean and Central America during the winter.
Mark FaldmoHOST

The next cruise line is Windstar.
Mark FaldmoHOST
26:06

Patrick WiscombeHOST
26:06
Windstar.
Mark FaldmoHOST
26:07
So Windstar is kind of sailing yacht meets upscale cruise.
Mark FaldmoHOST
26:12
Now, one thing you have to be careful with on Windstar is they have both sail powered and small ship motor powered ships.
Mark FaldmoHOST
26:20
So if you want the sailing experience, you have to make sure you're on that sailing experience.
Mark FaldmoHOST
26:26
Meaning wind power.
