The Reality of an 8-Day Offshore Passage to Fiji

What is an offshore passage really like? Join us as we sail from New Zealand to Fiji on an 8-day offshore passage, sharing the day-to-day reality of life at sea as a short-handed crew. Beyond the beautiful ocean views, this is what our routine actually looked like: standing watch, preparing quick meals, tracking our progress, and settling into the rhythm of life offshore. In this episode, you'll see: - Our watch schedule for sailing offshore as a crew of two - The simple meals that keep us fueled underway - Ray's DIY electronic logbook built with Home Assistant and how it automatically reports our position to Passage Guardian (https://passageguardian.nz/) for added safety - The routines, challenges, and rewards of an 8-day ocean crossing - Our arrival in beautiful Fiji after more than a week at sea Fair winds, Holly & Ray ——————————————————————— ⛵️Join the Crew or become a VIP (our version of Patreon!): https://svsabado.com ⚓️Check out our Blog: https://svsabado.com 📸Follow us on Instagram: @sv_sabado 🎁Our favorite products: https://www.amazon.com/shop/hollyandray **As Amazon associates, we earn commission from qualifying purchases** Holly and Ray have been #sailing together since 2020 on their #catamaran, Sabado.
