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 ??

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. So hit subscribe and join us on this adventure! ??
