THIS NEARLY KILLED US! [Ep107 RED SEAS]

Our steering cable snapped when we were offshore, sailing across the Pacific. We tied our broken steering cable together with the dyneema bolt rope from our head sail and carried on for another 2000 miles before we reached Tahiti and could repair it properly. Fingers crossed this new one holds up as we continue on our journey in some of the most remote places in the world! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 🙌🏻 Support us 🙌🏻 PATREON: www.patreon.com/redseas TIPJAR: www.tpjr.us/redseas For more information about Wayfinder, check out www.iNav4U.com DISCOUNT CODE: REDSEAS See Wayfinder in action here: https://youtu.be/jQanLnmrHBw 💬 Follow us on social media 💬 FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/realredseas INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/realredseas ⏰ Time Stamps ⏰ 00:00 Coming up 00:43 Last time on Red Seas 01:09 New flipflops from Gumbies 03:45 How we shower - viral video! 05:34 We've never been off-grid for this long before! 06:59 Catching up on all our boat jobs 07:46 Our steering cable broke! 10:53 Replacing our steering cable with dyneema 13:39 We have no steering on our boat 18:33 Whipping our dyneema steering line 21:01 Splicing dyneema onto a thimble 22:58 Testing our new helm 23:53 Outro and blooper 🎵 Music 🎵 All tracks can be found at Epidemic Sound. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📖 Our Story 📖 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 love to travel, we love the sea and we love sharing inspiring stories about inspiring people.
