SAILING to the other side of the WORLD! [RED SEAS]
We are halfway through our sailing passage from New Zealand to Fiji, but we're facing a big problem. We anchored in a submerged atoll called Minerva Reef, because the metal structure that holds our dinghy in place broke in the huge waves that we saw last week. Before we can leave this lagoon and set sail for Fiji, 500 miles away, we need to figure out how to make Indioko safe enough for the open ocean.
There is no one nearby who can help us so we just have to figure this one out ourselves, and as soon as we can get moving, we'll have the final leg of our journey to reach Fiji. Fingers crossed!

We've been working non stop in New Zealand for the last few months as we refit our catamaran and get Indioko ready to head back into the tropics and off grid again.
