THE BEGINNING of a whole new SAILING ADVENTURE! [Ep178 RED SEAS]
🚨 Off-Grid Madness Begins! Sailing Into Cruisers’ Paradise (Definitely Not Bora Bora)
One sketchy pass, two mystery planets, and zero regrets.
What would you give up for total freedom? House? Job? Sense of direction? We said goodbye to land life and hello to getting mildly yelled at by our chartplotter. In this episode, we sail out of the rules (literally) and into the unknown — chasing remote turquoise waters, dodging reefy death traps, and trying not to mispronounce Danish boat names on the radio.
🛥️ This episode features:
• The wiggliest, shallowest mooring exit ever
• Timing a narrow reef pass perfectly wrong (hi, low tide!)
• Hitchhiking canoe bros and slow-motion chases
• Why we said “no thanks” to Bora Bora 🙅♂️
• A moonlit night sail to the lesser-known Maupiti
• The most dramatic, wave-pounding atoll entry yet (with actual yelling)
• Spotting Venus, Neptune, Saturn, Mercury… and panic
• Plus: Possibly never leaving. Because it’s that beautiful.
🌍 Where we went:
• Snuck out of Taha’a
• Avoided Bora Bora like a crowded buffet
• Found our version of paradise: Maupiti (aka “Cruisers’ Bora Bora”)
• Survived the most chaotic entrance since… last week
🤣 For viewers who love:
• Real sailing, real swells, real “what are we doing?!” moments
• Humor at the helm and chaos in the cockpit
• Couple banter, reef passes, and slow-motion anchoring
• Sailing past the rules (and maybe immigration)
• Plot twists with dolphins, dinghies, and Danish boat names
• Unexpected astronomy lessons at sea

BOAT UPGRADE everyone will LOVE!
We are making brand new cockpit cushions to transform this area on our boat into something that is far more comfortable and practical...and it's been a long time coming after 6 years living onboard! We just spent all our money on a refit earlier this year so we've had to come up with some ...
Our BOAT just got BIGGER!
We are sailing on a tight budget after our huge refit earlier this year and so when it came to transforming the cockpit of our Leopard catamaran, we had to get a little creative. I wanted to replace all our cushions and Iain wanted to transform our table, but we don't have the thousands of doll...
HUGE MILESTONE! (I’ve been waiting for this day!)
Some days are special - and this is one we will remember for a long time! We are celebrating reaching such an important milestone in my health journey, as I get back to who I was before my relapse earlier this year. We expected 2026 to be full of hard work and adventure, sailing to new countries an...
REALITY of sailing to Fiji’s most isolated village!
We are sailing to one of the most remote islands in Fiji. This is perhaps the most isolated village in the whole country of Fiji, and we'd love you to come along with us for the adventure as we sail to the very furthest island in the Lau group, try our hand at fishing, paddleboard amongst the i...
LIFE CHANGING: sailing final 100 miles!
We've been sailing full-time on our Leopard catamaran for more than 6 years but to us, this lifestyle has always been about more than just sunsets and rainbows. We wanted to make a difference and help support the communities that we visit as we sail around the world and here in Fiji, we've...![MUST-HAVE BOAT UPGRADE 2026 [RED SEAS]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/zSRCKWtA-F4/mqdefault.webp)
