Did we MAKE A MISTAKE?? [Ep6 RED SEAS]
Are we making a mistake? We are trying to buy a boat in the Caribbean but things haven’t been going to plan. We moved onboard, sailed to another island, delivered two boats across a border and then finally got our survey and sea trial. Now we’re hauled out in the boatyard and it’s time to negotiate on price.
To save time and money, we start work on the simpler jobs and get to sanding, painting the anchor chain, going up the mast and we’re still trying to fix the generator!
And finally, we make our decision on whether to buy this boat.
This is the end of Season 1 so we’re going to take a short break but we’ll be back soon with more adventures - our story definitely isn’t over!

📖 Our Story 📖
We’re Iain and Brioni, a couple of ginger Scots who decided to sell everything and move to the Caribbean in search of a boat that we could call home. We hope to travel the world, to help others in whatever way we can and to share the beautiful stories of inspiring people we meet along the way, all in the hope that it encourages us all to find new ways to make this world a better place.
