WE WRECKED OUR BOAT...was it worth it? [Ep165 RED SEAS]

We took on a huge challenge, to sail 1500nm upwind during cyclone season in the South Pacific. And after seven gruelling weeks, we finally make it to our destination. A bit battered and bruised from all the things that went wrong, but we survived! Join us as we set foot on land here in the Gambiers for the first time and see if the reality of these remote islands in French Polynesia live up to our expectations. We have a lot of boat repairs to do, but fingers crossed the journey was worth it!

We have a habit of finding ourselves in the most unusual circumstances, but that’s what makes life interesting!
