Getting ready for EL NINO! Wild weather ahead! [Ep105 RED SEAS]

After we saw some bad weather coming our way, we sailed to a more protected atoll and Brioni got to work to make a rain enclosure for our cockpit to replace the old one that came on the boat when we bought it. The storms arrive just after we dropped our stern anchor and our dinghy bridle snaps at 6am. We have to quickly assess all the nearby coral to see if we’re going to run aground and once the weather calms down we celebrate with a coconut crab cooked on a beach fire with our cruising neighbours. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 🙌🏻 Support our engine fund 🙌🏻 PATREON: www.patreon.com/redseas TIPJAR: www.tpjr.us/redseas For more information about Wayfinder, check out www.iNav4U.com DISCOUNT CODE: REDSEAS See Wayfinder in action here: https://youtu.be/jQanLnmrHBw 💬 Follow us on social media 💬 FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/realredseas INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/realredseas ⏰ Time Stamps ⏰ 00:00 Coming up 00:39 Last time on Red Seas 01:26 DIY sewing onboard 01:59 Designing a bespoke cockpit enclosure 04:08 Keeping the rain out of our boat 08:34 Sewing plastic for the first time 09:47 This is why we aren't professional! 10:51 It's finished! 11:24 We nearly lost our dinghy 13:09 Blue coconut crab 14:47 Beach fire in paradise 15:21 Outro and blooper 🎵 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 love to travel, we love the sea and we love sharing inspiring stories about inspiring people.
