FIXING OUR BOAT AFTER WEEKS OF WAITING | LIVEABOARD LIFE IN THE PACIFIC

Описание: After weeks of waiting for parts, we're finally putting our sailboat back together! This isn't just about repairs. Our boat is our home and our only means of transport. In this episode, we fix our diesel tank fuel supply, recalibrate the system, and reinstall the head sail. But just as we're ready to go, tropical depressions in the Coral Sea force us to put our plans on hold.

Living aboard a sailboat means being self-sufficient, planning for the unexpected, and ensuring that everything works when it matters most. Without a reliable diesel engine, we lose control in tight spaces, risk getting caught in bad weather, and can't move when we need to. That's why this process is so critical.

Whether you dream of the sailing lifestyle, are interested in liveaboard life, or want to see what it really takes to keep a boat ocean-ready, this video is for you!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We’re Adam and Vicki. After years of being career focused, we decided it was time to shake things up and sought a lifestyle that would provide us with new experiences, humble us, allow us to visit remote locations, and experience new cultures. In 2021, we traded our regular suburban lifestyle for a nomadic one and moved aboard our sailboat, Te Tāiko, a Chico 40.
After three years sailing in New Zealand and preparing for Category 1 (regulations for New Zealand registered vessels planning to sail offshore), we set sail from New Zealand to Fiji on the 23 May 2024. This would be Vicki and Tāiko's first ocean passage and Adam's third. We have since sailed to Vanuatu and New Caledonia, where we will be during the cyclone season.
We fund our lifestyle by working part time. This sometimes involves returning to New Zealand to help top up the bank account. The other avenue is through our content creation where we document our journey though YouTube videos and our our social media accounts and website. We would love for you to follow our progress as we navigate a nomadic lifestyle. If our content is something that you enjoy, please consider supporting our channel. You can do so by:
