Off Grid foraging boatlife meets on grid luxuries best of both worlds sailing Shark Bay - Ep 142

Off Grid alternative boatlife meets on grid luxuries best of both worlds sailing Shark Bay - Ep 142 There are very few affordable things about boatlife. However, delving into nature's larder to catch your own food is one of the highlights. During our stay in Shark Bay we felt embraced by the community. Not only were we able to enjoy the comforts of Monkey Mia resort but we were also invited for a cruise around the bay on Aristocat 2 to see some of the 10 000 dugongs that call this area home. On top of that Rob and Ivan got to spend a morning learning the art of cockle farming. Special mention goes to Rob who made us a memorable meal with the cockles he and Ivan harvested.

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
