THE BEGINNING of a whole new SAILING ADVENTURE! [Ep178 RED SEAS]
? Off-Grid Madness Begins! Sailing Into Cruisers' Paradise (Definitely Not Bora Bora) One sketchy pass, two mystery planets, and zero regrets. What would you give up for total freedom? House? Job? Sense of direction? We said goodbye to land life and hello to getting mildly yelled at by our chartplotter. In this episode, we sail out of the rules (literally) and into the unknown - chasing remote turquoise waters, dodging reefy death traps, and trying not to mispronounce Danish boat names on the radio. ?? This episode features: - The wiggliest, shallowest mooring exit ever - Timing a narrow reef pass perfectly wrong (hi, low tide!) - Hitchhiking canoe bros and slow-motion chases - Why we said "no thanks" to Bora Bora ???? - A moonlit night sail to the lesser-known Maupiti - The most dramatic, wave-pounding atoll entry yet (with actual yelling) - Spotting Venus, Neptune, Saturn, Mercury? and panic - Plus: Possibly never leaving. Because it's that beautiful. ? Where we went: - Snuck out of Taha'a - Avoided Bora Bora like a crowded buffet - Found our version of paradise: Maupiti (aka "Cruisers' Bora Bora") - Survived the most chaotic entrance since? last week ? For viewers who love: - Real sailing, real swells, real "what are we doing?!" moments - Humor at the helm and chaos in the cockpit - Couple banter, reef passes, and slow-motion anchoring - Sailing past the rules (and maybe immigration) - Plot twists with dolphins, dinghies, and Danish boat names - Unexpected astronomy lessons at sea ?

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! ??
