Sailboat sailing south for Cyclone season - Ep 130

Sailboat sailing south for cyclone season- Ep 130 A weather window has opened up for us to up anchor from the Montebello Islands and sail south, retracing our steps down the West coast of Australia. On our journey Rob spears a pretty descent coral trout and the boys get handy, ticking a few maintenance jobs off the list. Best of all we have an important announcement at the end of this episode that we are really excited about. We are joining with eight other you tube sailing channels (among them Sailing Delos and Sailing Uma for a plastic recycling project. Details can be found by watching the short video at the end of this weeks episode. If you'd like to support the campaign take a look at what's on offer at the link. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/machines-for-our-in-mocean-recycling-fleet/x/28081026#/ Music Kaina - River Jordan Kaina - River Jordan instrumental Twiceyoung - Change your love instrumental David Mumford - Ball and chain Thank you for helping keep us afloat and supporting the creative process.

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, they set off to learn the ropes of ocean sailing. They 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 they have become confident wayfarers, kind of. Their 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 they 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 #NeverStopWanderingNeverStopWondering​. #TheCruisingKiwis
