We tried to leave this island in the South Pacific ocean but our engine starter battery was completely dead so we were stuck. We ordered a new one from Tahiti but had to wait a week for the supply ship to arrive before we could install and test it. Now that things are moving again we lift anchor and head straight out of the pass in super calm conditions. A massive pod of wild dolphins wave us off and we set sail into the night.
We are still struggling with some diesel bug issues but we're determined not to let that stop us travelling. The winds pick up in the morning and we get our sails up but things soon escalate into a freak storm and we start seeing failures on deck as our hardware breaks in 45 knot winds. We're left battling huge seas and we're in for an uncomfortable ride south to our next destination.

Facing an incoming super El Niño cyclone season in the South Pacific, Iain and Brioni navigate their Leopard 47 across the Fijian lagoon to secure Indioko before departing on a flight to Athens.
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. We spent weeks sailing against the trade winds to reach the furthest corner of the remote Lau islands in Fiji and had an absolute blast exploring the villages and beaches we discover...
