EMERGENCY HAUL OUT! (Our boat is SINKING!) [RED SEAS]
This was not the video we expected to make this week. After spending almost three months in the boatyard in New Zealand, we were finally excited to get back in the water and start exploring the Bay of Islands before our departure…but Indioko had other plans and we had to turn around and make an emergency run straight back to the boatyard instead.
We were so disappointed to realise that we were taking on water…not from our thru hulls this time, but a leaking rudder seal. There was no other option – we had to haul out again and get these things replaced…but of course things didn’t go to plan and we found ourselves getting stuck on the hard for longer than we hoped.
What a challenge it was to make this episode, but we hope you enjoyed it!
Remember if you’d like to come and sail with us in Greece this September, there is one cabin left – check out www.red-seas.con/greece for more information on the Odyssey Sailing Festival. It’s a fantastic week on the water with like minded people where you can have a laugh, enjoy some fantastic company and see what boat life is really all about.

DEADLY WEATHER coming right for us!
We only have 24 hours to get safely out of Fiji - cyclone season is coming and this super El Niño season is looking to be a record breaking one with huge storms forecast across the South Pacific. We have a few options but it's hard to decide where to go - so let us know what you think we shoul...
We JUST got here…and now we HAVE TO LEAVE!
We sailed to Fiji (from New Zealand) just a few months ago after a massive boat refit but it hardly feels like we've had any time at all to explore these beautiful islands and already we're thinking of leaving. Sometimes plans change and sometimes the weather dictates the way that we shoul...
Could we LIVE HERE? (Hidden Fiji caves!)
In all our travels, we have always loved exploring new places and visiting islands that are hardly touched by tourism. We've been incredibly lucky to have experienced some wonderful places around the world but this island is a bit different. Have we actually found our new home? Should we think ...
SHE FOUND HER CALLING!
Iain and Brioni Cameron of Sailing Red Seas navigate their Leopard 47 catamaran Indioko on an overnight passage from Totoya to Kadavu, Fiji, freediving with giant pelagic manta rays in the Great Astrolabe Reef.
WE DON’T KNOW what’s next!
Life on a boat always throws us surprises - sometimes we make plans, and sometimes they get thrown back in our faces. We spent weeks sailing against the trade winds to reach the furthest corner of the remote Lau islands in Fiji and had an absolute blast exploring the villages and beaches we discover...
