FIRST DAY AT SEA after our catamaran refit! [RED SEAS]

It's time to take our catamaran out for a seal trial after three months of hard work in the boatyard. We have just completed a massive refit, upgrading or repairing almost every system onboard but now that we're back in the water again, we need to test everything out and make sure it all works as it should. We are leaving Whangarei and sailing up to Poor Knights, a marine reserve with a difficult anchorage. We'll be testing our Gori propellers, our new fuel tanks, our thru hulls and cutlass bearings, as well as our anchor and chain when we get there. We also have a new toy to play with - the Gladius Mini S underwater drone from Chasing. You can read more about it here: https://www.chasing.com/en/mini-s-overview.html We're so excited to be back on the water and chasing down new adventures again. Thanks for sticking with us throughout our time in the boatyard...now let's go and explore! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 🙌🏻 Support us 🙌🏻 PATREON: www.patreon.com/redseas TIPJAR: www.tpjr.us/redseas NEW MERCH STORE: www.red-seas.com/shop 💬 Follow us on social media 💬 FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/realredseas INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/realredseas ⏰ Time Stamps ⏰ 00:00 Time to set sail 03:40 Reviewing our new helm seat 05:10 Reviewing our new Gori propellers 07:41 One big problem left 09:56 Sailing to Poor Knights 14:32 Reviewing our new paint job 15:47 Exploring the biggest sea cave in the Pacific Ocean 17:52 Our new underwater drone 🎵 Music 🎵 All tracks can be found at Epidemic Sound. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📖 Our Story 📖 We're Iain and Brioni [The Reds] a couple of redheaded Scots who sold everything we own and moved halfway round the world to buy a boat that we could call home. We have a habit of finding ourselves in the most unusual circumstances, but that’s what makes life interesting! We live in search of the most remote places to live and sail so hit subscribe and join us on this adventure! 🗺️ Track 🗺️ https://www.noforeignland.com/boat/red-seas/journey?find=0&sid=6132493533052928&tc=1679925060879ieours
