With another storm forecast on the way, we decided to make a break for it! In this episode, we sail the length of Corsica on a challenging five-day journey, battling strong winds, rough seas and uncomfortable anchorages as we try to stay ahead of the weather and get to Sardinia to meet family! Along the way, we experience some incredible sailing conditions, with Rúna hitting speeds close to 10 knots under sail with winds reaching over 44 knots. Join us as we continue our 2026 liveaboard adventure aboard our 11m catamaran, Rúna. ________________________________________________________________ Season 2 - Episode 3 00:00 - 00:51 Catch up and intro 00:51 - 10:12 Day 1 - Nervous Ruth - Big wind, big waves 10:12 - 16:00 Day 2 - 44kts of wind 16:00 - 22:27 Racing and rear helm stations 22:27 - 24:02 Broken outboard 24:02 - 25:44 Day 4 - Boring! 25:44 - 31:43 Ruth Solo Sailing & Racing! 31:43 - 33:32 Arriving into Sardinia ________________________________________________________________ Hey! We’re Ruth and Andrew 👋🏼 After years of dreaming, we left our family, friends and lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, behind as we set off to chase our shared dream of sailing the world. Last year, we bought our 11m catamaran, Rúna, which we now call home as we live, work, sail and adventure full time across the Mediterranean. 🖥️ Collab enquiries: therunalife@gmail.com #sailingadventure #Sailing #Liveaboard #CatamaranLife #Mediterranean #Corsica #Sardinia #BoatLife #OffshoreSailing #SailingAdventure #TheRunaLife
