Sailing oceans to outback - Escape lockdown to Australia's Grand Canyon - Ep 126

Sailing oceans to outback Escape lockdown to Australia's Grand Canyon - Ep 126 Multiple times we were told, "While you are in Dampier you have to go and see Karijini National Park". So when we were offered the use of a car and a swag for a few days, by two of our loveliest supporters, we jumped at the chance to head inland 600 kilometres to the majestic breath-taking gorges and crystal clear rockpools of Australia's grand canyon. We were not disappointed with what we discovered. Thank you for helping keep us afloat and supporting the creative process. You can be part of the crew for less than the price of a coffee. https://www.patreon.com/CruisingKiwis Music Brooke Annibale - O come O come Emmanuel Kaina - Golden Years Kaina - Golden Years instrumental David Mumford - Ball and Chain We also have crypto wallets if you'd like to contribute to our maintenance fund that way: BITCOIN bc1qds53n9tqepxvauqn9dygtczltyu6genkfp9a8a ETHEREUM 0xB4Cb9e1Aa9c000055DAde5E077809B904EE34CDD CARDANO addr1q9xw6hjjqlad7av2k6facn0277u3q4tylrpyev9x9zs54vjva409ypl6ma6c4d5nm3x74aaezp2kf7xzfjc2v29pf2eqrf7zaz Dash Xh5xLgH4oQ4pwM6V3d9r96A52R6ckereTz DOGE DQGxY6Cak3AuuihR8R7iQHNcBp25z9WnMa Much love to you all. 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 19, Declan 17 and Ivan 14, 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 #TheCruisingKiwis #Karijini
