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...
After living onboard full time for the last 6 years, we are making this critical upgrade to our off grid Bluewater cruising catamaran - we are upgrading our watermaker so that we can survive in remote places for longer, knowing we are self sufficient and have a reliable system to keep us alive.
We&...
Iain just solo sailed from New Zealand to Fiji - that's more than 1200 miles of open ocean with all the challenges that this brings....and this was his first time sailing alone! Now we open up all the questions you've been asking us, including could Brioni do the same journey, if she had t...
We are halfway through our sailing passage from New Zealand to Fiji, but we're facing a big problem. We anchored in a submerged atoll called Minerva Reef, because the metal structure that holds our dinghy in place broke in the huge waves that we saw last week. Before we can leave this lagoon an...
This is part 2 of Iain's first ever solo sail, taking on a challenging stretch of water from New Zealand to Fiji. It's 1200 miles in big waves with some of our highest ever boat speeds and even though we've just spent months improving our boat in the yard, there are still things just ...

We've been working non stop in New Zealand for the last few months as we refit our catamaran and get Indioko ready to head back into the tropics and off grid again. And although things haven't quite gone to plan so far this year, we've done our best to push on through but we're a...
This was not the video we expected to make this week. After spending almost three months in the boatyard in New Zealand, we were finally excited to get back in the water and start exploring the Bay of Islands before our departure...but Indioko had other plans and we had to turn around and make an em...
Ever since we bought our boat, there has ben one major problem...and it nearly caused a disaster when we hit a storm in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. We've been battling this design flaw for the last 6 years but today we are going to put things right and fix this, once and for all.

We tried to fly our drone around a remote island in New Zealand to get some awesome aerial shots of our boat in the anchorage but a battery failure meant it crash landed in the sea, only a short distance from our sailboat.
It's too cold to swim here at this time of year but we just got an ROV ...
This is one of the toughest videos we've made in a long time - at the end of our 3-month catamaran refit, we were so ready to get back in the water but when we launched our boat last week, we discovered that one of the thru hulls we had replaced was leaking. It took a huge effort to lift the bo...
This is the final day of our catamaran refit - we have been in the boatyard for almost three months, replacing and upgrading almost every system on our boat. We have upgraded our anchor and chain, our windlass, our propellers and our cutlass bearings, as well as our solar and lithium bank, and the i...

We are currently refitting our Leopard catamaran that has carried us halfway around the world to New Zealand. We have been working on replacing our fixed 3-blade propellers with new...
It's time to switch out our propellers and this is an upgrade we have been longing to make for a few years now. We've been dragging our old fixed props behind our boat for more than 25,000 nautical miles and they cause some serious drag, slowing us down and making our passages way less eff...
We are upgrading our whole anchor set up, starting with a stainless steel anchor from Ultra Products and then adding 100m of stainless steel chain from Cromox. To lift all that, we'll need a reliable windlass so we have increased the size of our windlass motor, switched out the gypsey to match ...
We are installing these solid state batteries from Renogy and it's a technology we've been excited about for years. We live full time on our catamaran in the tropics and power is a constant concern. With this major upgrade from our 600Ah LiFePO4 to more than 2000Ah solid state lithium, we ...
As we sail around the world on our boat, we recognise that there is a certain amount of risk that we need to accept alongside the rewards that this lifestyle offers us. And usually it pays off - we get to swim with whales, dive with sharks and live on uninhabited remote islands with long sandy beach...
