5 days SAILING the WRONG WAY! [Ep130 RED SEAS]
We sailed the wrong way for 5 days as we left Tahiti and headed East back to the remote atolls of the Tuamotus. It's not going to be a comfortable ride but sailing upwind never is. Join us in our first sail in almost a year as we get back to doing what we do best - heading off towards the horizon without a clue where we're going!

We anchored in a submerged atoll called Minerva Reef, because the metal structure that holds our dinghy in place broke in the huge waves that we saw last week. Before we can leave this lagoon an...![SOLO SAILING – FASTEST PASSAGE EVER! [RED SEAS]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/xzix7jCQbj4/mqdefault.webp)
