Everything Went Wrong on Day One..

During a single day, I dealt with an engine failure, had to anchor under sail, and discovered the boat was taking on water. Not exactly how I imagined the start of the trip would go.. BUT despite the challenges, there were plenty of great moments too: sailing through the stunning Kyles of Bute, spotting lots of harbour seals, enjoying golden sunsets, wild swimming, and welcoming one of my best friends, who came all the way from Sweden to join the adventure. ⚓ YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP: Become a YouTube channel member to get access to exclusive posts, members-only videos, badges, and other perks while directly supporting the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaMl3_TPJHdY6NMTzFs7ASQ/join ⛵ PATREON: Join me on Patreon for extra behind-the-scenes content, uncut sailing videos, sneak peeks of upcoming adventures, and a closer look at life aboard a tiny boat: https://www.patreon.com/c/_kayleighbrown 🍿 WATCH NEXT: MY FIRST SOLO SAIL (AUSTRALIA): https://youtu.be/AOeVM_hZEuI?si=pdIG6h6Md862Bmbh 1000KM OF SOLO BIKE-PACKING: https://youtu.be/lJDS4WUS-F0?si=TtEFNyPF9MtrHCD6 WE CYCLED THE LENGTH OF NEW ZEALAND: https://youtu.be/iEWj6Kcl_NM?si=77ggYVzpBmNQw_m8 MY OTHER SOCIALS: 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_kayleighbrown/ 📱 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kayleighjeanbrown/ 🎥 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kayleighjeanbrown/ WITH THANKS: A huge thank you to Pantaenius and Wild Earth for supporting this channel.

WHO AM I? 👋 If we haven’t met before… hi, I’m Kayleigh. After living overseas for nearly 10 years, I recently returned home to Scotland and bought a 26ft sailing boat to explore the islands and coastline. Through my videos, I share stories from the sea with the hope of inspiring others to get outdoors, connect with nature, and set off on their own adventures.
