WE SAILED 4000 MILES to get HERE! [Ep98 RED SEAS]

[@latitudeash]

Baptism of fire and now your out into the other side and things will be much easier . The boat has had a good shake down sail, and you guys have broken all you can on the cat. The rest of the stuff is good….🙏🏼

[@RedSeas]

Exactly! She’s shows us where it hurts and now we just have to get on with fixing her up…again 😂 still, she’s a tough old girl and we don’t mind given she is the hardest working member of the crew

[@sailingnoboundaries]

Hey Ian and Britni 👋 Mark from FB just stopping by for a catchup. Best of luck in the International Cruiser Awards. Cheers!

[@RedSeas]

Hey! Cool to connect here too. Thanks, we are pretty blown away by it to be honest and hopefully everyone has a great night at the awards next week. So cool to have a space where sailors and creators can be recognised and so many talented people out there.

[@sailingnoboundaries]

@@RedSeas you have an awesome channel, regardless of the outcome of the awards I’ll be back to follow your adventures. Someday I hope to share my sailing adventures with you and the world. Cheers

[@RNVOS]

You can’t ask for better location than that ❤ from 🇨🇦

[@RedSeas]

We have dropped anchor in some pretty impressive places but this is just incredible!

[@scottmonson6463]

I thought you needed Wire for Sea Fishing... That might be why you are losing your hits... Giant Hugs

[@RedSeas]

We are looking to upgrade to wire but have had pretty good success on our fishing so far but this week was a bit unlucky. Hopefully the wire will help tho

[@emmaleslie2202]

The dolphins are so cute and I love the sunset

[@RedSeas]

Dolphins are really fun. We love it when they show up to play

[@emmaleslie2202]

The. Water looks so clear and so nice

[@RedSeas]

It’s been really clear a lot of the time. In some places we go, we can’t even tell there is water so it feels like we are flying above the ground

[@Mainforce66]

Did you guys manage to fix/replace the steering cables? Slange!

[@RedSeas]

Unfortunately not. Getting any parts to this part of the world is incredibly difficult so we are still running our make shift repair. Testimony to the improvised fix tho. 😊

[@sandybinbedford5512]

I like you two . Totally natural . Not trying to " look your best" in front of the camera . What you see is what you get .

[@RedSeas]

I mean there’s a phase relating to polishing a 💩 I think applies 😂 yeah, with us, you are totally right. You get what you see. Mainly because we want to share an honest insight into our adventure (highs and lows) and there really is no need to exaggerate that. Plus, we can’t act for toffee. 😂

[@johnabriggs6044]

into Deep Sea Fishing and good practice went fishing is to change the terminal tackle on your rigs as hopefully it is twice the weight strength of the line it attached to. normally it is 120 lb test or larger depending on the size of one lure. when fishing with a Rod and Reel one uses a Snap swivel so you can change the lure after each catch. when one is food fishing every fish is several meals one desires to keep. in not called catching so some loss happen.

[@RedSeas]

Yeah, we only ever trawl fish for food using our little hand reels but so far its worked out pretty well for us. That said, we have had to say goodbye to the odd squishy squid when the line breaks. Now we have upgraded the leader to metal, we hope to see far fewer losses and a few more dinners. 😊

[@crowdfundcrew]

The views are awesome - can't wait for the exploring videos! Hopefully some good underwater shots - that part of the world is awesome above and below. Donate for a Dream

[@RedSeas]

Yeah, we can’t wait to get out and show you some more of this crazy remote part of the world. So much going on to share

[@ardent-training]

Living the dream!

[@RedSeas]

Absolutely!

[@TA-go5zw]

Love the channel, but your boat needs some tlc! Clean the rust and the green sugar scoops

[@RedSeas]

😂 think that’s the motto for our channel. Indi is our rescue cat and we are always working to bring her back to her former glory. The green scoop is all cleaned up now but it’s been a mission after the crossing as those scoops were pretty much under the waves for a month.

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

That looked like an amazing passage and that Wahoo is probably one of my favourite as well. I don't know if you have done already but I'd recommend a steel leader on the lures, fish won't be able to chop through that.

[@RedSeas]

Funny you mention that. We are searching for steel leaders right now. Tricky getting them out to french Polynesia but hoping to find a local source at a sensible price

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

@@RedSeas You should probably be able to find something in Tonga or Fiji or make them yourself if you can resource some thin steel wire and crimpers+tool. Or let Brioni just be creative, she's good at that.

[@MrCybernick]

Just hearthe news .. well done on the best emerging youtube channel..🎀🎀🎀🎁🎀🎀🎀

[@RedSeas]

Thank you so much. We are blown away by it. It’s wild to think that our little adventure caught they eye of some really incredibly talented judges. Thanks to everyone’s votes we made it to the finals and somehow got voted to win!

[@MrCybernick]

Super cool im realy pleased for you two. Have you sorted out the engine ?@@RedSeas

[@MrCybernick]

Nice spot you found.. Enjoy it ..😎😎😎

[@RedSeas]

It’s amazing! We love it and can’t believe how lucky we are

[@michaelbowers5675]

in regards to the slow tv, maybe if it was time lapsed or something, otherwise I find it a bit boring and better for sleeping or screensaver as opposed to entertainment, but that is just my unasked for opinion. I detect scuba diving and snorkeling in the next episodes as the Tuamotu islands are renown for it.

[@RedSeas]

Yeah, plenty of underwater and over water fun to come. The slow tv was more of a bonus video to stick on in the background while you work or drift off. For all the excitement of our usual Sunday episodes, we figured it would be nice to show you some of the better sailing too.

[@michaelbowers5675]

dont get me wrong, i like watching some nice sailng on a clear day, i just dont want to see it for like 2 hours or anything like that@@RedSeas unless it was a screen saver looped video maybe

[@jimgarvin9159]

That was a very interesting catch & release.

[@RedSeas]

😂 absolutely! Here’s hoping we don’t have to do that again any time soon

[@gskii9462]

Great to see you having an enjoyable sail. Looking forward to your explorations of these islands,,,, looks beautiful from the teaser,,,,,

[@RedSeas]

It is such a beautiful part of the world. We can’t wait to share more of it

[@emmaleslie2202]

By the way this is Charlotte or char

[@RedSeas]

I guessed it was you 😊

[@latitudeash]

Paradise islands. 👍🏼

[@RedSeas]

So hidden away in the middle of the ocean too

[@latitudeash]

Same is a goth….🤣😂.

[@RedSeas]

🤘

[@latitudeash]

Don’t Jinks it Bri 🥺

[@RedSeas]

EXACTLY!

[@emmaleslie2202]

And her are you doing?

[@RedSeas]

We are really good. Thank you for asking

[@emmaleslie2202]

How has it been on the boat yet

[@RedSeas]

Loving on the boat is so much fun.

[@dirk3730]

Looks absolutely beautiful guys. 450 miles in 3 days is pretty impressive🎉

[@RedSeas]

It’s not bad is it? Yeah we have been aiming between 150 and 200nm days at the moment.

[@emmaleslie2202]

😊

[@RedSeas]

😝

[@jackechan1311]

🏖

[@jackechan1311]

Hopefully you did replace the fishing line with metal leaders and have saved big bucks on lost lures.....and chipped the teeth of more than a few Wahoo.

[@RedSeas]

We upgraded to a metal leader but our lure stock is so low now, we haven’t pulled much for a recently sadly.

[@latitudeash]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼, that sail into the lagoon was performed textbook. Well done guys. 👌

[@RedSeas]

😂 good to know we can do something right for a change. Now to steady our nerves for next time

[@latitudeash]

@@RedSeas I want to see a bit of those islands first. See if you can dig up some pirate treasure or something 🦜

[@latitudeash]

Balancing that laptop on there is not a good idea. 🫣

[@RedSeas]

Totally agree. We have come up with another plan (soon to be revealed). Wasn’t fun watching it in the wind either
