Our Sail Fell Down Crossing the Pacific!!

In this episode of our Pacific Ocean sailing adventure, disaster strikes when our headsail falls down mid-crossing! With thousands of miles of open ocean around us, we're forced to take action fast. I strap in and climb to the top of the mast to inspect and repair a broken shackle that caused our rigging failure. This video is packed with real offshore sailing challenges, raw ocean footage, and behind-the-scenes moments from life aboard a sailboat. Whether you're a bluewater cruiser, armchair sailor, or just dreaming of setting sail one day, this is the kind of high-seas drama that defines the true spirit of sailing around the world. If you're into sailing mishaps, rigging repairs, and the ups and downs of crossing oceans on a liveaboard, this is one video you won't want to miss. We share our DIY sailboat repair tips, how we stay calm in a crisis, and what it takes to keep going when the wind-and gear-don't cooperate. We're Bob and Kim and we set off in February 2024 from the U.S. to begin our dream of sailing around the world. After sailing through the Caribbean and transiting the Panama Canal, we're now getting ready for the 4000 nautical mile journey from Panama to French Polynesia.
