Sailing in to oarsome Bluewater v stillwater
If you’re into water sports involving skiffs and oars, coxswains and crabs, then this is the episode for you. Feast your eyes on Lake Karapiro, mecca of all things rowing in New Zealand.
Finn hit the ground running when we returned from Fiji. Now he gets to join with his St Johns College buddies and see whether one month of training really is all you need to get up to speed in a scull. Spoiler alert: He does just fine. Which begs the question, how well could he do if he did some work?
Rob discovers his three weeks of training have not left him in the same boat as Finn. (Do you see what I did there?) He struggles with the pace in the father and son race. In the single scull, the first 250 metres are a throw back to his former glory as an Olympic rower. Unfortunately, rowing races are 2000 metres. Rob discreetly retires from the heat. Hoping it’s not too late to trade in his rowing suit for a pipe and slippers.
It’s all in a day’s work for the oarsome Hamill boys.

Our sailing videos are almost at the fringe of the cutting edge of informative travel entertainment confirming life is far too important to take seriously. We are a New Zealand liveaboard family of five: Rob (50+), Rachel (21-ish), Finn (19), Declan (17), Ivan (14) circumnavigating nomadically by sail boat learning from nature, new cultures and life experience. We hope to inspire others to explore different ways to live and educate while having a truckload of fun along the way.
