Did we CROSS THE LINE? (First time sailing over the international date line) [RED SEAS]

Support our journey and help keep us floating at www.patreon.com/redseas

Our first time sailing across the international date line (Ep192) as we passage from Niue to Samoa in the Pacific Ocean. We celebrate reaching the future and missing a day, then hold on as the sea state picks up but we finally see land and enjoy a much calmer arrival into Apia with a downwind spinnaker run along the north coast of Upolu.

When we finally make it into port, it's time to tackle some boat jobs. We get to grips with replacing our lazy jack lines and in a bonus episode we also fix our outboard motor for our dinghy. You can check that extra video out here: https://youtu.be/ku5Wpacfll4
