How to make SAILING MOM super HAPPY - Ep 103

How to make SAILING MOM super HAPPY - Ep 103 You can support the creative process in making artistic content here: https://www.patreon.com/CruisingKiwis The best mothers day gift is to tell mom how you feel. In this weeks vlog Declan and Ivan do just that. Through the medium of food they create a culinary display of love. These amateur chefs cook a three course meal in the small galley kitchen in our tiny home, our family liveaboard yacht. Thank you boys, I am very grateful for the effort you made. But wait there's more. My talented sister Hilary, who cropped up in the episode 79 at Tangalooma resort when we fed the wild dolphins, has recently made an advert for Nivea that also has a mothers day theme. You can watch it her here: https://youtu.be/5FgfrycTISo Music Analog heart - With love cinematic version - Musicbed.com Brooke Annibale - Patience instrumental - Musicbed.com David Mumford - Ball and chain Due to travel restrictions our income has been massively compromised to the point where we either drop the anchor for the last time or, reluctantly, we seek financial support to continue our creative process. Should you choose to support our journey please know that we are very grateful and hope that the rewards meet your expectations. Any contribution will be helping produce videos (which take between 30 to 50 hours a week to make) and support on going boat maintenance. Regardless, we are stoked if you take the time to watch our journey. Even better if you take the time to 'like', 'comment' or 'share' (or all of the above) our YouTube videos. These are free things that help us enormously. Thank you! Rob, Rachel, Finn, Declan, Ivan https://www.patreon.com/CruisingKiwis BACK STORY In 1997, after rowing at the Atlanta Olympics, Rob decided to row a tiny seven-metre plywood boat, 2500 miles from Tenerife in the Canary Islands to Barbados in the Caribbean. It took 6 weeks and he and his rowing partner, Phil Stubbs, won the inaugural Atlantic Rowing Race. His first taste of a blue water ocean crossing. Skip forward to 2014 and, married with three children, Rob and 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 our boat before heading offshore with the kids, Finn 18, Declan 16 and Ivan 13, in tow. Through trial and error, we have become confident wayfarers, kind of. Our 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 will re trace 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 #MothersDay #NeverStopWanderingNeverStopWondering​. #TheCruisingKiwis
