⛵ 350 Miles of Open Ocean | Sailing from Niue to Samoa 🌋
Two sailors. One 47ft catamaran. 350 miles of empty Pacific Ocean. 🌊
This passage takes us from the remote cliffs of Niue to the volcanic shores of Western Samoa — and along the way, we face everything from heavy weather to sleepless nights at sea.
People always ask: “How can just two of you possibly cross oceans alone?” The answer is here — in the storms we’ve fought, the mistakes we’ve made, and the resilience we’ve built. What once felt impossible now feels like the start of something bigger.
In this episode, you’ll experience the reality of ocean passagemaking: unpredictable winds, long night watches, gear failures, and the thrill of finally sighting land after days offshore. More than just sailing — this is what it means to chase freedom across the world’s most remote waters.
If you’re drawn to sailing life, bluewater cruising, and exploring islands far off the beaten path, this is your front-row seat.

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...
