No Autopilot? No Problem. (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 67
I must say, the beginning of our 236nm sail from Niue to Vava’u – Tonga was a bit of a downer, considering the auto pilot had once again stopped working and this meant we would be hand steering for 2 days. Any old salt would have probably just stayed in Niue until it was fixed, but us kids decided to keep going and sort it out when we got to Tonga. We’d heard nothing but good things about the place from fellow sailors and we were super keen on exploring a new destination. So maybe being a bit impatient, off we went. Join us as we hand steer the whole way hahaha. Stay tuned… ps CONGRATS to our patrons Kirk and Sean, we hope you can come aboard sometime real soon. Also don’t forget to sign up to our mailing list for the Big Splash Party in France next year, for anyone who would like to celebrate the exciting event with us! (the link is just below). Love Elay and Riley xo
