[Ep186] What happens when your only watermaker fails… thousands of miles from civilization?
In this intense and heartwarming episode, we face our biggest emergency in 5 years of off-grid sailing — running out of water in the middle of the South Pacific. With no shops, no backup plan, and only rain and kindness to count on, we have to get creative (and fast) to survive. 💧
We share the raw reality of off-grid expedition life:
👉 DIY fixes under pressure
👉 Grateful encounters with generous islanders
👉 Inventing a water system from spare parts
👉 Festival rehearsals, cultural insights & real community spirit
👉 The bittersweet farewell to a remote paradise
This is more than a sailing vlog — it’s a story of resilience, connection, and the beautiful unpredictability of life at sea 🌴⚓

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.
