RAW BOAT LIFE SAILING in Thailand
This is what travelling in our sailing catamaran, circumnavigating the world is all about, getting out and meeting the local people. While walking into town on the remote island of Koh Lipe, Thailand we passed the football pitch where several local kids were hanging out. Our sailing teenagers got involved and soon more joined and game of soccer ensued. Unfortunately for Ivan, while saving a trio of balls from the goal, he rolled his foot causing injury, a possible broken bone. This is boat life in Thailand, visiting remote islands, camping on beaches and hiking through the rainforest in search of waterfalls and best of all meeting the people. Raw sailing life.

BACK STORY
In 1997, after rowing at the Atlanta Olympics, Rob rowed a tiny 7m (22 foot) plywood boat 2,500 miles from Tenerife (Canary Islands) to Barbados (Caribbean). 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
