WHALES SURROUNDED our boat! | Sailing to Tonga [RED SEAS]

Support our BIG REFIT and help us keep our boat afloat: www.red-seas.com/refit We were surrounded by humpback whales as we sailed south through the islands of Tonga, from Niuatoputapu to Vava'u. We lifted anchor and set sail for a couple of days to reach our destination but as soon as we left the pass, we were surrounded by whales in every direction! These beautiful creatures were swimming alongside us, and breaching everywhere we looked. What an incredible experience! When we arrive in Vava'u, we get straight to work with an upgrade and repair to our watermaker - we've been struggling with issues for months as we sail between some of the most remote islands in the South Pacific....have we finally fixed it?? We're just trying to keep Indioko floating until we arrive in New Zealand later this year, where we have a massive refit planned. If you'd like to see some of the projects we have lined up, or you'd like to help us get them underway, you can contribute to our refit fund on our website at www.red-seas.com/refit Thank you!!!! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 🙌🏻 Support us 🙌🏻 PATREON: www.patreon.com/redseas TIPJAR: www.tpjr.us/redseas NEW MERCH STORE: www.redseasmarine.com For more information about Zora, check out www.iNav4U.com DISCOUNT CODE: REDSEAS See version 1 (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 Sailing the South Pacific 01:02 Setting sail 02:34 Sailing with humpback whales 08:01 Sailing at night 11:07 Early morning sailing offshore 14:04 Watermaker update 16:25 Testing our watermaker repair - is it fixed? 🎵 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 live in search of the most remote places to live and sail so hit subscribe and join us on this adventure! 🗺️ Track 🗺️ https://www.noforeignland.com/boat/red-seas/journey?find=0&sid=6132493533052928&tc=1679925060879ieours
