After setting sail from Tahiti on our 1500nm upwind journey to the remote Gambiers islands, we ripped our genoa and decided to make an emergency stop in a remote atoll not too far off our route. There are no shops or chandleries nearby, and certainly no sailmakers, so we have to do what we can to repair the tear and get underway again.

After battling seasickness and a broken autopilot on our first leg, we're determined to keep going and overcome the challenges that arise out at sea.

We're really not sure of the outcome from this adventure so join us on our Gambiers Gamble and see if we'll ever make it to the most southern part of French Polynesia.
