TOTAL BATTERY FAILURE! But we're unstoppable - and we're sailing anyway! [Ep135 RED SEAS]

We tried to leave this island in the South Pacific ocean but our engine starter battery was completely dead so we were stuck. We ordered a new one from Tahiti but had to wait a week for the supply ship to arrive before we could install and test it. Now that things are moving again we lift anchor and head straight out of the pass in super calm conditions. A massive pod of wild dolphins wave us off and we set sail into the night. We are still struggling with some diesel bug issues but we're determined not to let that stop us travelling. The winds pick up in the morning and we get our sails up but things soon escalate into a freak storm and we start seeing failures on deck as our hardware breaks in 45 knot winds. We're left battling huge seas and we're in for an uncomfortable ride south to our next destination. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - THANK YOU EVERYONE for watching! We're almost at 10,000 subscribers!!!

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! ??
