Sailing Western Australia Living life before the big goodbye Ep 113
We are so lucky that our time with Finn has been extended due to the New Zealand/Australia bubble being suspended. We spend our extra time together getting busy living life to the full in the Ningaloo Marine Park. The beautiful clear blue water and the abundant sea life help to make this a memorable trip.
A dive on the Exmouth old navy pier and the chance swim with a whale shark and manta rays on the same afternoon is only just eclipsed with the sighting of a mother humpback and her new-born calf. Life doesn’t get much better than this
Should you choose to support our journey please know that we are very grateful and hope that the rewards meet your expectations.
Regardless, we are stoked if you take the time to watch our journey. Even better if you take the time to ‘like’, ‘comment’ or ‘share’ (or all of the above) our YouTube videos. These are free things that help us enormously.
Thank you!
Rob, Rachel, Finn, Declan, Ivan

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 18, Declan 16 and Ivan 13, 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
