BLUEWATER Sailing Kiribati to Marshall Islands Farewell Kiribati - Hello Marshall Islands - 3 Days at Sea ! We leave Kiribati and embark on a three-day ocean crossing to the Marshall Islands . We make a final trip to to the market to stock up on fresh fruit and veggies and spend a VERY hot day visiting Customs and Immigration to complete our clearing out of Kiribati. We set sail northwards towards the Marshall Islands and even though its a short trip ,we still manage to encounter a couple of gnarly squalls along the way . Our wind instruments stop working and we are forced to sail up the 'wrong' side of Majuro due to strong winds... However, a pod of dolphins welcomes us on our way into Majuro lagoon and it's not long before we are tied to a mooring enjoying a cold beer.....

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!

well good morning from a fairly overcast

bikini boo we were over North Tarawa

yesterday it got a little bit squirrely

a little bit windy from the wrong

direction so we've seeked some shelter

back on the mainland and it's Tuesday so

apparently there is a market we're going

to go and check it out

[Music]

don't forget to subscribe to our channel

[Music]

it was only a short thing here I to the

beach where we got some help bringing

Dave ashore I'm Jamar our friends who

know Mass on a very early and very

cloudy morning from is a ancient mark

had been told of a nearby Taiwanese

veggie garden which normally provided

fresh vegetables to the local schools

and hospitals given that it was his

school holidays they had several a stock

and was selling directly to the public

we were told to be there for 9 a.m. this

turned out to be a tad optimistic as I

was still getting organized so he picked

up a numbered ticket and settled in for

a bit of a chat while we waited the

ticketing system is used to stop people

and restaurants or shops coming in and

buying all the stock for a third of the

price we were paying in the shops we got

some of the freshest produce we have

seen in a long time

thanks for coming

[Music]

with full provisions and a favorable

weather window for the Marshall Islands

we move DT six miles west and anchored

off the Parliament Buildings then headed

to by D key to start our check out Davis

parked fortunately the Tigers on its way

in so coming back shouldn't be an issue

and we're now on a mission to get down

into by rickie and clear out with

immigration

no one's a bit early for

this time we are clearing out of a

country since you've done less we have

to get to customs better yeah its

customs we give this to customs okay

Monday thank you for your help thank you

[Music]

just looking for state it does seem to

be an issue in these countries is that

and nobody ever has a stable and

everyone know their yeah every time they

come on the boat they go if you got a

stapler yeah they use our stake boat and

then we donate staples

[Music]

so we're trying to get a bus back to buy

a ticket but all these buses are going

to beso which is where we are that's

like a new

just keep doing a loop

we're going nowhere fast

[Music]

I've got no idea what time is left okay

men but we made it back to Dave and

we're all cleared out how about you I'm

ready for a nice cold glass of juice

Friday morning I am looking super

glamorous and we are off this morning we

are leaving

Tarawa Lagoon and we are setting sail

north to a Maduro we've got everything

strapped down because basically it's

going to be an up wind beat and we don't

like upwind generally but we don't have

much option because that's the trade

winds in this part of the world good

morning my ranger all right oh yeah well

both looking glamorous this morning yeah

oh we're more or less ready for the

officers I think so yeah we're done the

route plan and we're just going to see

what we get now let's do it

we are just exiting through the channel

out of the lagoon in Tarawa and out into

the open ocean and enjoying this one

tiny little bit of dominance island that

we're going to get

so we're puttering along at five knots

in very light but we also are passing a

being violent opportune our starboard

side

that is giving us quite a bit of shelter

from a skull and now this is pre

champagne say

send us round

[Applause]

good evening it's our first night on a

Friday evening and I have to say it's a

beautiful evening I've got the engines

off again there we're doing about

the swell is probably about one and a

half two meters but it's a bit long

[Music]

just coming up half one in the morning

the wind has fallen off fairly

considerably and not sure what speed

it's doing because our wind speed

indicator has just stopped working one

option is that we can stop off at the

territory we can go in there and see if

we can do any repairs but we haven't got

a spare on board and I'm not really sure

how we're gonna repair it to be honest

it may be that we decide to press on and

use the boat speed as an indicator of

wind speed we're doing six to seven

knots then we know that we're within the

safety window of the reefing points but

that will all be discussed in our boat

meeting

Joe is awake good morning of day two

that is a bru territory well it's also

these sunrise

my time is five miles of starboard

she's gone 7:00 in the morning it is a

windless day today banging there's a

whole load of spoils ahead of us that

looks like they've sucked all the air

out where we are just have to wait and

see not that we can see what the wind

speed is because our wind speed

indicator is still broken

we are only pressing on

so when our motors saving rather than

yes well coming in

yeah that's what we're surrounded by at

the moment where this little little blob

here

our wind instruments were still not

working even after turning everything on

and off we resigned ourselves to being

without them for the rest of the trip

when suddenly they started to work again

a great result

and a huge relief Wow we just dropped

the sail and there was the gun down I

want the gusts are at the moment

big 35 knots for sure just as we're

making lunch too

so it's official that was our first big

school of the trip took us a little bit

by surprise and lasts at about two hours

on review of the predict twin files

actually did show something that it was

the timing was a little bit off there is

a prediction that there might be

something happening this evening as well

unless what we've just had was what

could do this evening so that because

the timings off we're not really sure so

we're keeping a close watch on the radar

into the evening and the sea state is

still a little confused but it is

calming considerably

so we've acknowledged here

a couple of schools

just dose the machine

you know the seas as well was probably

about three and a half meters and we are

bashing upwind by anywhere between 11 20

knots of wind again speed wise were

getting anywhere between five and a half

and seven o'clock knots so I'm making

for a time it's just not the best

pointer to say

especially

our lovely long

ocean swell has disappeared

chop

lunch time thank you

7:00 a.m. and see if I can find film has

been flying round and round the boat for

the past 15 minutes or so I guess it's

like China London an aircraft carrier or

something

it's go get the right speed and make

contact

oh there he is look there we go he's

just landed bugger I didn't film it but

I'll show you here we go

day three and yeah we've got a bit of a

score the pounding thing happening over

here which is helping the wind a little

we're pretty much close hold we just

don't like going up with

carries the birthday boy oh come on you

can do it

we need one

it's our last night at sea with you into

majora tomorrow afternoon and it's quite

pleasant out here actually we've got a

reef in the main and the seas are

relatively calm we've calmed the boat

down so that we can get some sleep and

the wind is finally starting to play

ball and means that we aren't as close

hauled as we were so everything is a lot

more relaxed to be honest but I'm very

much looking forward to getting in and

exploring in your country for us so yeah

should be good

[Music]

[Music]

the westside of Mathura that is the

northern tip we're somewhat in the

protection of the land around the top

should be a lively few hours

our heading to the

[Music]

I think people hope McCullum when they

come round the top and that's where it

all gets messy because you've got

current coming against wind and at this

we had some big swell coming up back to

the west side of the island once we've

motive to that which took us about two

hours yeah

they say plain sailing it's a beautiful

day so fingers crossed we'll get in

without any drivers and we're now

heading across the lagoon to Anchorage

well we are here we've got the dig in

and we're going over to check in so and

they're waiting for us so we're in a bit

of a rush

[Music]

look at this tell me we are clear our

customs and immigration checking in

it's a good check-in day
