So, curious, and keep in mind, I have no boating experience,,, but, why not drop the anchor off the stern to 'lock' you in between two points? Was it too deep behind Indioko?
That’s a great question. And we actually considered it but, yes, it was something like 40m deep all around that coral head so we didn’t have enough line to safely stern anchor. Generally you want to anchor with a scope of 3 or 4 to 1 so we would have needed a minimum of 120m of anchor rode (heavy line). Unfortunately we don’t carry that much so we didn’t have that option. We thought about running a line to one of the Pearl floats too but didn’t want to risk damaging the farm.
Sorry to hear that. We aim to be on the “realistic” end of the spectrum when it comes to episode titles for sure. Would be interested to know what you would have titles this episode?
Love it that we could be part of your weekend experience. Hope the coffee didn’t get sprayed across the keyboard at any point due to our “improvisations”
Cheers Stephen. I always smile when you drop us a comment or message through patreon. Takes me back to a very fun bonfire evening when we first hung out. Will you be making it to Annapolis this year? I know it’s not straight forward for you sometimes to get to the land of Stars and Stripes.
As much as we are looking forward to similar adventures soon, we aren’t looking forward to those nights where all hands are on deck to help move and re anchor ⚓️
I’m yeah stern anchor would have been good but it’s about 120ft deep at our keels so getting any workable scope on the anchor would need at least 360ft of line and more like 600ft as it wouldn’t be chain. Sadly we don’t carry that much spare line for stern anchoring
An other great episode, looking forward to the next to see how all that works. Question, your screens at the helm seem very bright or is that just the camera?
Cheers! Good question. The camera makes the screens look much brighter than they are because it’s so dark, we have to push up the camera exposure to see our ugly faces and that makes the screens appear like the sun. 😂
It was a little tense for sure. Hard to convey it sometimes but one of the good things about sharing this on video is that we feel like you are all hanging out with us so we aren’t alone working it out.
...odd my previous comments vanished in the past ten mins.. i did add a French Polynesian dance competition link.🤔 Which is damn annoying as its a major part of Polynesian social life. You have parlay revival heading your way and sailing Nahoa is in the French Islands . Watch out for two ginger haired tiny tots ...
Yeah, parley left FP quite a few months ago now and are now leaving NZ. We caught up with Nahoa back in Fakarava actually. They are not far away. Such cool people.
@@RedSeas - Yep I'm doing the same...lol... But you guys are having fun and living the dream. So many places I've visited via your TH-cam channel. Keep going guys we love you both.
@@cameronag12 - … lol.. you both got paid in love.. lol… I am so happy I get to see more of the world through my favourite sailing channel. Let’s hope Bri’s parents managed to save up a bit more ad they will need it. If you own a boat they say ‘you are always broke or your boat stays broken’ 😂🤣.

Thanks guys! 😊
Cheers mate! Thanks for hanging out again
Lovely episode. Thank you!
Thanks for hanging out with us this week

Smart sailing takes more work than most will show and you guys still make it look fun. Can’t wait to catch up in Annapolis!
Aw shucks. You said we did something smart 😂 we are counting down the days. Can’t wait to finally meet in person and catch up.
Sunday morning 2nd cup of coffee and Sailing Red Seas' adventures,,, what could be better?,,,,
Love it that we could be part of your weekend experience. Hope the coffee didn’t get sprayed across the keyboard at any point due to our “improvisations”
What’s better is going to be the Laughter we all get from them. ❤❤
Great video and glad you are ok
Thank you. It was one of those moments that keeps us on our toes for sure but thankfully Indi kept us safe as usual.
Great episode guys! Looking forward to the next one.

@RedSeas no I'm still barred from US entry
Thank you.
No worries! Thanks for hanging out with us

I mean, thankfully the good days far out way those odd nights. 😊 … or you could not park up stupid close to a coral head miles from anywhere 😂
@@RedSeas bring on those good days 😆
I only say front and steer anker together in such spots are helpful.

Um ... wow!
I hope that’s a good wow 😮
@@RedSeas Indeed!
I better book the negotiators now, for your release. 😂
Yes please. Perhaps put them on retainer as I think we could use their services quite often 😜
Those pups look like Parlays dogs. 😊😊
I mean a couple more centuries and they could be their own breed being this isolated 😂
I always thought Iain was a spaceman 🫡
Space cadet perhaps.
An other great episode, looking forward to the next to see how all that works.

Wow you guys seemed so calm but that must have been incredibly nerve wracking

I look forward to your video's every week. I have a quick question, if a Scotsman wears a "Man-Bun,"...is it considered a "Bap?" 🤣😂😁
Haha love it. I mean you’re probably right!
Next time..when you got that voice at the back of your head saying this morning is not safe, best to listen…🤓
But there are so many voices and they are all arguing most of the time
@@RedSeas - Split personality....oh dear oh dear...
Oysters go Squeee...
That was probably just us making that noise 😂

@@RedSeas
They have already reached the Minerva reef Atol in the middle of knowhere. So probably due soon .
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 I think Parley Revival has quite a bit more space between real time and episode time.
Exactly. We have been pretty close to real time for a few months now. Stressful keeping up but fun sharing the adventure as it happens.
I thought you guys were rich with all that TH-cam money…. lol NOT. It’s ok Iain’s parents are loaded…..
Haha I wish! You know they watch these episodes right? Probably with head in hands “where did we go so wrong?!?”
@@RedSeas - Yep I'm doing the same...lol... But you guys are having fun and living the dream. So many places I've visited via your TH-cam channel. Keep going guys we love you both.
Yeah, sure, we were loaded once - then we had kids! ;-)

Not a good idea to use your home a a depth finder…🥸
Well yes, now we know that 😂
