What is an offshore passage really like?

Join us as we sail from New Zealand to Fiji on an 8-day offshore passage, sharing the day-to-day reality of life at sea as a short-handed crew. Beyond the beautiful ocean views, this is what our routine actually looked like: standing watch, preparing quick meals, tracking our progress, and settling into the rhythm of life offshore.

In this video, you'll see:

- Our watch schedule for sailing offshore as a crew of two

- The simple meals that keep us fueled underway

- Ray's DIY electronic logbook built with Home Assistant and how it automatically reports our position to Passage Guardian for added safety

- The routines, challenges, and rewards of an 8-day ocean crossing

- Our arrival in beautiful Fiji after more than a week at sea

Fair winds,

Holly & Ray
