IT'S CRUNCH TIME...END of our CATAMARAN REFIT! [RED SEAS]
This is the final day of our catamaran refit – we have been in the boatyard for almost three months, replacing and upgrading almost every system on our boat. We have upgraded our anchor and chain, our windlass, our propellers and our cutlass bearings, as well as our solar and lithium bank, and the incredible paint job that we revealed last week!
But now we are preparing to get back in the water and there are a few last minute jobs we need to complete before we can splash our hulls. Then the real test comes as we see if our new thru hulls are fully sealed or if any of them will leak. Nervous!

We’re Iain and Brioni [The Reds] a couple of redheaded Scots who sold everything we own and moved halfway round the world to buy a boat that we could call home. We have a habit of finding ourselves in the most unusual circumstances, but that’s what makes life interesting! We live in search of the most remote places to live and sail so hit subscribe and join us on this adventure!

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!)

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...
