MUST-HAVE BOAT UPGRADE 2026 [RED SEAS]
After living onboard full time for the last 6 years, we are making this critical upgrade to our off grid Bluewater cruising catamaran – we are upgrading our watermaker so that we can survive in remote places for longer, knowing we are self sufficient and have a reliable system to keep us alive.
We’ve struggled with our DIY built water maker for the last 12 months and now we’re really excited to switch it out for the Kyma Comfort 60 watermaker from Ocean Spring Watermakers. It produces 60 litres an hour of fresh water, runs off our 12V battery bank and has a super quiet brushless motor. The simplicity of the control panel also means it should be easy to run from inside the galley, whenever we need to top up our tanks.
See how we installed this new power-efficient watermaker on our boat in Fiji as we prepare for our next off grid trip to the Lau Islands.

📖 Our Story 📖
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!

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...
