WE NEED TO TALK | engine issues [Ep94 RED SEAS]

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.

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.
