After spending 3 years sailing within New Zealand & preparing for offshore sailing, we sailed our 40 ft sailboat Te T?iko from New Zealand to Fiji & enjoyed the beauty and tranquility Fiji has to offer. We've now said goodbye to Fiji and have completed our first ocean passage (bluewater crossing) as a couple (only the two of us aboard). We have continued to sail west to our next destination, the beautiful country of Vanuatu.

A big thank you to you for watching and a massive thank you to our Patreons for your support and helping make this possible. In December 2021 we moved aboard our sailboat Te T?iko, a Chico 40. T?iko is our floating home. She gives us the freedom to go anywhere the wind and weather allows. We release a new video every Sunday.
