Sailing LAID Back Lagoon LIFE in the Marshall Islands LAID Back Lagoon LIFE- Ailuk atoll, Marshall Islands Ailuk atoll, Marshall Islands This week, we start our lagoon life at Ailuk atoll! We were given permission to travel to Ailuk Atoll to deliver essential food suppliers on behalf of Mayor Typhoon, so along with Mark and Angie, the crew from our buddy boat 'Uno Mas' , we waste no time in dropping off lots of flour, rice, sugar, coffee and spices, before sharing a drinking coconut and morning tea with locals ,Pumpkin and Emily We spend time diving within the lagoon where we sadly discover the much of the coral has been badly damaged and bleached, but we do see a couple of schools of fish and have a really relaxed swim-by from an eagle ray, We also enjoy a beach picnic and sundowners with the crews from 'Forever' and 'Offshore Haven'.

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!

it's so nice to um to be in a place

where we wake up and the sun is shining

and there's no storm clouds on the

horizon

after weeks of planning in measure with

the internal affairs department and mr

typhoon the mayor

it was wonderful to travel two days and

250 miles north to i look lagoon

this coral atoll is made up of 57

islands on its eastern side

and has a land area of five and a half

kilometers it encloses a lagoon of over

178

square kilometers

[Music]

before we had left measure we had

restocked dt with more than two months

of provisions

and also loaded supplies for the

villagers and some of the yachts who

were already there

after a good night's sleep the first

thing we did was head ashore with mark

and angie from uno mas

and met with pumpkin and emily to drop

off the rice flour and sugar that they

had ordered

[Music]

we spent some time talking with them and

sharing a coconut and some bandanas cake

before heading across town to the

mayor's house to pay our respects and

visitors fee

hold on and dusted fees paid boys are

going to come over and collect the boxes

from the boat

so it's coming back in in the dingy

what's a result hey a whole load of

drinking coconuts

yeah i love it

[Applause]

it's a gray and rainy monday

and we're doing boat jobs is there

anything more exciting rob after a

passage that it raining

himself after any big sale we spend time

resetting dt for life on the hook

any open water trip means a lot of salt

water and spray that needs to be rinsed

off

we'd also been really busy trying to

leave measure so a good

boat wash to clean off the soot and dust

was long overdue

fortunately their regular showers in

this part of the world make a fresh

water wash down easier

[Music]

after only a year and a half the soft

anti-fowl we've been recommended in new

zealand was pretty much

all gone the paint is designed so it

peels off a layer and self-cleans while

we sail along

we discovered a couple of hours into the

crossing that this doesn't happen

anymore

and after three months in measure the

sea life built up on the hull

meant we lost about a knot and a half of

boat speed on the passage

so it was time to start scraping

[Music]

to finish off the boat jobs we chopped

off the diesel tanks and then used

lots of freshly caught water to do all

our laundry

good morning it is a beautiful morning

but it is a tad rolly in here today the

winter's come round it's come around

more to the north

and this makes this anchorage just a

little bit on the rolly side

so um today is the day we are going to

[Music]

move

i'll just move down creatures it's a

little bit rolly up here but not as bad

as the bottom and you're going to go and

see if you can see the anchor yeah we're

in 20 meters

we'll see we'll see okay

further up we were down there and we've

just moved up here

and uh una mass offshore haven and

pinocchio are up here

all nicely spread out and we are

anchored off this

stunning there's just a whole row of

islets that run up this east side and

we're anchored off

one of those

so sun down is on the deck and daisy's

just had a little fly around

first flight in this lagoon so

did well she came back which is always a

bonus

quiet week
