SOLO SAILING 1200 MILES - New Zealand to Fiji [RED SEAS]

We've been working non stop in New Zealand for the last few months as we refit our catamaran and get Indioko ready to head back into the tropics and off grid again. And although things haven't quite gone to plan so far this year, we've done our best to push on through but we're about to face another huge challenge... Brioni is still recovering from a relapse of M.E/CFS and isn't well enough to take on this passage to Fiji....so I'm doing it alone. It will be my first ever solo sail and it's a big one - more than 1000 miles across some of the roughest seas many sailors will ever take on. The forecast is daunting but it's time to go.

We have a habit of finding ourselves in the most unusual circumstances, but that’s what makes life interesting!
