Avoiding HEAVY weather - Our longest ever Pacific Voyage || Marshall Islands to Fiji
Avoiding heavy weather - Our longest ever Pacific Voyage - Marshall Islands to Fiji.
This week we are travelling in one of the remotest parts of the Pacific Ocean- Between the Kiribati group and Tuvalu. With heavy weather forecast for our approach to Fiji we slow down and heave to while waiting for the weather to pass. In the meantime we are kept very busy with squalls and avoiding a large number of fishing vessels.

👩‍❤️‍👨About us :
Hello and welcome to our channel! We are Jo and Rob and we are here to share our sailing adventures with you.
In 2016, inspired by the likes of ‘Delos’, ‘Sailing La Vagabonde’ and ‘Gone with The Wynns’, we sold up everything we owned and bought our 40ft, Fountaine Pajot ‘Lipari 41 Evo’ sailing catamaran ‘Double Trouble’. We had no sailing experience whatsoever, so the past few years have been a huge learning curve.
We thought it might be fun to document our travels for anyone thinking of following a similar lifestyle.
So far we have visited 7 different countries and sailed over 13,000 nautical miles.
We have had many unique experiences that would not have been possible in our prior life and we don’t regret a second.
We're both super keen on protecting our precious environment, so amongst other things, we both follow a plant based diet. You wont find any fishing footage on this channel!
Subscribe now and join us as we continue our salty travels around the world. ua-cam.com/users/SailingDoubleTrouble
