A very lucky lady. Obviously a strong willed lady and a good swimmer - she didn't panic and had the energy to scream for help which I find remarkable (maybe she had not been in teh water too long). I hope she made a full recovery. That was so scarey and they did a great job getting her on board with what they had - that was a brave man who jumped in to tow her round. Any more infor on who she was and how she got there?

The name of New Zealand is New Zealand. There has been no legislation or referendum to change the name of the country to anything else. I've been subscribed to your channel for quite a considerable period of time and will remain so. So welcome to New Zealand and hope you enjoy your stay and can finally get all those annoying repairs done.. We are a sailing nation and sailing ambassadors to the world.

Nitpicker! You can call it whatever you want. What we do know is that it was named Aotearoa well before any legislation. It was named Neu Zealand by a Dutchman who spent less than 6 days here.

Too bad your food was stolen by robbers ...I mean so called "authorities". Why do cruisers put up with it? They should boycott sailing to that country and all countries that treat you that way.! No human has a right to steal from another. Why do we put up with politicians who say that some humans CAN steal and or control the lives of others? We all have a right to travel and we shouldn't put up with abuse in the process.

Great videography and content mix. The water sampling survey is interesting. I guess you covered this a long while ago, but why does your Amel(?) have such big, solid aluminium stays on the main mast coming out at head level to the cap shrouds and diagnols down to the deck?
@FranklinGray
@FranklinGray 10 күн бұрын
I was wondering that too. My guess is that they have 2 poles and maybe one is Whisker pole and one Spin pole and that is their way of storing them when not in use. The advantage of doing so give them something to hold onto when going forward.

A very responsible approach, unlike far too many KZfaqrs. staying in the islands for cyclone season is never a good decision. It's only a week to NZ. I have known a few people who have lost their boats in Fiji during cyclones. An unattended boat in a cyclone pit is an invitation to mould, rats & insects. I always leave at the BEGINNING of the high: I end up motoring through the middle of the high for a day or two, but importantly I get there before the cold front which is key. I have done that trip many times delivering yachts - so far I haven't had a bad trip south. It's also almost the only trip where I will motor as soon as the speed drops - beating the south wind to NZ is the focus.
