This sailing technique saved my butt (Why does nobody teach this?)
1,800 miles from the nearest road, my autopilot exploded into pieces on my lap. Three and a half days into an 18-day crossing from Ecuador to Easter Island, on a light catamaran with small rudders and no displacement, the wheel pilot's ring snapped, the belt cut itself in four places, and the b...
We Sailed to a FORBIDDEN ISLAND | Sailing Truth Show
Most boats never make it to Mai'O. You can't just sail in... the island decides who comes ashore. Years ago, my girlfriend and I were anchored in Moorea when we met a man whose friend was from Mai'O. He asked if we could bring his friend home. We said yes — and what happened next was...

30 Seconds. That’s What a Lithium Fire Gives You.
