We just sailed to New Zealand to complete a massive refit on our catamaran but now we're facing a huge setback to our plans. We didn't see this news coming so we're having to adjust and reset but we're determined to push on and continue in whatever way we can. Thanks for your patience as we figure out what the next few weeks and months look like, and we hope to be able to share all the projects and repairs we have lined up - because it's a lot of work ahead!

📖 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!
