The Voyage

Wilderness of Waves is a blog by solo sailor, filmmaker & artist Olivia O Wyatt.

She is sailing her 34 ft. boat, Juniper, to destinations guided by humpback whale migration patterns.

In August 2019, she single-handed from San Diego to Hawaii. It took her 23 days. She and Juniper are now in French Polynesia.

Follow along as she wanders the seas in search of magic.

A turquoise lagoon in the Tuamotus. The Tuamotus rest at the edge of the ring of fire and are the largest chain of coral atolls on earth. Atolls are sunken volcanoes that began to take shape as dinosaurs were dying - 65 million years ago. They started as seismic shatterings, bubbling on the seafloor. There was eruption after eruption and lava piled upon lava, piled upon lava; then climbed out of the South Pacific Ocean. Growing upward until the volcanoes no longer breathed fire. Coral began to colonize around the shorelines of the inactive volcanoes. Seabirds came and went too, so there was soil and seeds and sprouts and flowers. 🌸 The volcanoes turned into tropical islands bathed in emerald green and they were surrounded by underwater jungles made of coral. With time and rain and wind, the volcanoes eroded, and slowly sank, until they disappeared, leaving behind a ring of coral that seawater pools inside of, thus the lagoon. So this lagoon that you see, is where a volcano used to be! 🌴 It’s a nice reminder of how ephemeral & constantly evolving everything is & how as one beautiful thing dies another beautiful thing is born, so therefore we can forever look forward to what is to come.
When shiz hits the fan, just keep dancing & know that it will all be ok! 🐙 Juniper is still floating thanks to everyone @kamokapearl farm! 🐚 I’m gonna get back to her even if I have to swim across the ocean. 🌈 In the meantime, I’m captaining a 46 ft. catamaran down in the Sea of Cortez 🌊 April 10th-17th ⛵️ One cabin left! 🌴Perfect for a couple 💋 Or best friends ⭐️ Or lone wolves 🐺 Message me for the friends & family rate.
Juniper broke free from her mooring and wrecked onto the reef today. I’m feeling some type of way. 📸 @cjbrash
