After receiving some bad news about our engine last week, we decide to sail to a nearby island to gain a little perspective and try and figure out what to do next. We explain our three options - to replace our engine, to rebuild it or to run it into the ground. The first two require money - a lot of money that we don't have - but we need to figure out a way to be able to afford these repairs or we can't keep sailing.

We hike to the top of a ridge of the island of Tahuata and decide to sail north to the main island of Nuku Hiva. It's a short overnight sail but we're hit with a whole bunch of squalls and see sustained 40 knots for a while!

We don't like asking for money but with our current situation we're not sure what else to do. If yo enjoy our videos and you'd like to see us continue, please do consider joining us on Patreon, even if just for a little while (www.patreon.com/redseas) or if you're able to send us a tip, we're saving for our engine fund over there too.

If you're unable to support us financially, please do recommend our channel to all your friends - word of mouth is what helps us grow and the more people who are supporting our channel, the more likely we will be able to continue. Thank you for all your comments and messages - it really does mean the world to us to know that we're not alone out here.
