It took six weeks for Rob and rowing partner, Phil Stubbs, to complete winning the inaugural Atlantic Rowing Race. Skip forward to 2014 and, married with three children, Rob and his wife Rachel purchased Javelot, a 43 ft Fountaine Pajot catamaran. Armed only with Rob's 3 years of racing P class yachts from the age of 11 to 13, and Rachel's non existent sailing knowledge, We set off to learn the ropes of ocean sailing. We broke stuff, replaced stuff and got to know their boat before heading offshore with the kids, Finn (then 13), Declan (then 11) and Ivan (then 8), in tow. Through trial and error we have become confident wayfarers, kind of. The plan? To sail around the world. Part of the journey will be retracing Rob’s eldest brother Kerry’s travels at sea. Using Kerry’s original letters from the 1970’s we hope to retrace his movements from Australia through Indonesia and South East Asia to Cambodia where Kerry’s life was cut short after straying into Cambodian waters in 1978. Kerry and two friends were attacked by a Khmer Rouge gun boat, captured, tortured and executed. www.brothernumberone.co.nz ***** Follow us in real time on Instagram and Facebook @thecruisingkiwis @finn_hamill @declan_hamill @ivanhamill #TheCruisingKiwis

Ieri ho scherzato dicendo che sarei rimasto a letto, rifiutandomi di alzarmi con quelle temperature. Scherzo durato 1 secondo! Ma oggi ho pensato “perché non far riposare un po’ di più Cami, senza farla alzare alle 6:30?” Così ho fatto. Tuta da missione sulla luna, cerata a coprire il tutto e fuori. Chiudo il tambuggio in modo che sotto rimanga caldo. Mollo la cima del gavitello e parto. Mi ha scaldato il cuore pensare alle due signorine riposare tranquille al calduccio delle coperte e prendermi qualche ora con Julia per fare miglia verso casa. Il tempo è letteralmente volato. Ho aperto Genoa, fatto 7,3 nodi per 7 minuti e richiuso perché morto completamente il vento. A una certa ora sento rumori provenire dal tambuggio ed eccole lì le signorine di bordo. Fresche e riposate. Navighiamo facendo lo slalom tra tronchi di ogni genere e dimensione fino ad arrivare al canale. Durante il giorno i ruoli si invertono: io sotto a fare call e lei fuori al timone. Passeremo qualche giorno qui aspettando di rientrare a Lignano il 5 ottobre. Domani ho 7 call. Decisamente da sistemare il bilanciamento e la distribuzione delle ore di allineamento, soffocano la produttività! Ora andiamo a recuperare ore di sonno e caldo. Che meraviglia il riscaldamento, non lo usavamo da un anno! Ci vediamo domani marinai, mi butto a riposare. Buon vento ai sogni! Andrea
