This could save your life – Boatlife Sailing Indonesia Ep 188
Sailing in Indonesia has been a joy with so many interesting islands to visit. This week we find ourselves anchored beside the uninhabited volcanic island of Satonda, where Rob takes a barefoot jungle walk to the salty crater lake for a swim.
If you a regular follower of our channel you will have noticed that our Kiwi sailing captain often wears fewer shoes than your average sailor, even when walking in the Indonesian jungle. It is very off putting for some but this week our Rob backs up his crazy shoe free lifestyle with some scientific evidence that suggests that going barefoot may just be the secret elixir of 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
