In this episode [Ep188], we set sail from the remote Cook Islands only to face challenges that test both our boat and ourselves — increasing waves, heightening winds and no land in sight. With 500 miles of open ocean ahead, we have no choice but to push south for safety. This is offshore sailing at its rawest. Remote islands, unpredictable seas, and decisions that could make or break the passage. Will we make it before the weather closes in? 👉 Subscribe for more real offshore sailing adventures: www.youtube.com/redseas 👉 Join our crew & support the voyage on Patreon: www.patreon.com/redseas 🌍 In This Episode Departing a remote atoll 🌴 Battling 3-4m Pacific swells 🌊 Sailing 9-10 knots through the night 🌙 The race to safety before the storm hits ⚡ If you’ve ever dreamed of blue-water passages, remote islands, or the freedom of life at sea — this one’s for you. ⚓ Stay Connected Instagram → www.insta.com/realredseas Patreon → www.patreon.com/redseas Website → www.red-seas.com 💬 Would you take on a 500-mile ocean passage with a storm on its way?

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
