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

Happy New Year to one and all. We wish you the very best for 2024.
Rachel, maybe it’s just the time of year, maybe it’s just how wonderful your family is, but this episode really hit me emotionally. What wonderful lives you live and children you have brung up. Thanks for taking us along with you on your journey. May the new year bring much more happiness to all of you!
Hi folks. One huge thank you to all the Cruising Kiwis. I look forward each time to your episodes. You've taken me places I'm unlikely to visit. Btw "thank you " for me misses the mark I'm aiming for. But thank you for sharing your experiences, thoughts etc. Take care people. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024. Cheers from Bryan.
Another year around the sun and another year to look forward to traveling the world with you. Xx
